Using the recovery-repair diskette in Windows

In some circumstances, files on the hard disk might become damaged so that the
F11 prompt is not displayed when you start the computer. If you have attached a
diskette drive to the computer and created a recovery-repair diskette, use the
following procedure to access the Product Recovery program on the hard disk. For
instructions to create a recovery-repair diskette, see "Creating an emergency
recovery-repair diskette in Windows" on page 15. Complete the following steps to
run the recovery-repair diskette:
1. Insert the recovery-repair diskette into the diskette drive.
2. Turn off the computer.
3. Turn on the computer, and follow the instructions on the screen.
If the repair operation is completed without error, the F11 prompt will be displayed
the next time you restart the computer.
If an error message is displayed during the repair operation and the repair operation
cannot be completed, you might have a problem with the Product Recovery
program or the partition that contains the Product Recovery program. Use a Product
Recovery CD to access the Product Recovery program (see "Product recovery
CDs" on page 111).

Diagnostic error message tables

For descriptions of the error messages that might appear when you run the
diagnostic programs, see "Diagnostic error codes" on page 89.
Note: Depending on the configuration, some of the error messages might not
appear when you run the diagnostic programs.
