Using the Product Recovery USB for
64-bit System Directors
This section describes the procedures to recover your Avid ISIS system drive by reinstalling
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 and Avid specific additions and changes.
This procedure restores only the Windows operating system and the hardware drivers. It does not
restore the Avid ISIS software. The Avid ISIS software must be reinstalled separately, after the
operating system recovery is complete. The version number of the image can be found in the
C:\IMAGE.TXT

After reimaging the server the Administrator password is set to is-admin.
You might need to reinstall the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 operating system on your Avid
ISIS System Director if you are directed to do so by Avid Customer Support. The reinstallation
offers you two options:
•
Perform a Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 installation to the
entire
system. This replaces
all the data from all the available partitions on your system drive. You can perform this
operation if you are initializing your system drive.
c
You lose metadata if you restore all the partitions of the drive.
•
Perform this operation to replace only the operating system on your system drive. Typically
this removes the
first partition
(C:); the other partitions are not changed.
Creating a Product Recovery USB Flash Drive
Avid highly recommends you copy the image to the 16 GB USB flash drive provided with your
Avid ISIS as part of your initial setup. The following procedure describes how to create the
product recovery USB flash drive. The product recovery image is included in the C:\Image folder
of the system drive.
