System Recovery

In the event that your hard drive is damaged, or if your BIOS or system files
get corrupted, it's important to take advanced precautions that will allow you
to restart your system and recover damaged files.

Creating a startup diskette

If your computer hard drive is damaged, you may not be able to start the
computer from the hard drive. A startup diskette is a bootable diskette that
lets you start the computer and attempt to fix the problem.
When you set up Windows NT you are prompted to create a startup diskette.
If you did not choose to create a startup diskette at that time, you may create
one later by running the Windows NT upgrade/installation program. This is
done by going to the DOS Command Prompt, changing to the C:\I386
subdirectory and typing "winnt32/ox". Press

CD.
