System recovery

We recommend that you take advanced precautions in case your hard drive
is damaged or your BIOS or system files get corrupted. This will make it easier
to restart your system and recover damaged files.

Creating a startup diskette

If your server hard drive is damaged, you may not be able to start the server
from the hard drive. A startup diskette is a bootable diskette that lets you start
the server 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.
To create a startup diskette:
1
Go to the DOS Command Prompt, and change to the C:\I386
subdirectory.
2
Type winnt32/ox, then press
