Appendix
Creating a Backup of Essential Access Software
When you purchased your new system, a “Fujitsu Software Extractor” shortcut was loaded to
“C:\Fujitsu\Drivers\AutoInstaller\”. This shortcut allows you to save the software driver packages
along with the extracted Auto Installer software package to a selected location. It is recommended
that you save these packages to writable media or an external drive. This ensures that in the
event of system failure you will be able to re-install the essential access software.
1. Open the C:\Fujitsu\Drivers\AutoInstaller\ folder
2. Run “Fujitsu Software Extractor” as an Administrator
a. Right-click on Fujitsu Software Extractor.
b. Select the “Run as Administrator” option from the menu that is displayed.
3. The default save location is C:\Fujitsu\ AutoInstaller\ Drivers\. You can change the location
by clicking on the
Browse
button and selecting your preferred location.
Note: It is recommended that you change the default location and save the
software packages to the external writable media or drive.
4. Click on the
Save Packages
button.
5. Fujitsu Software Extractor copies the zipped software packages and Readme
fi
les,
and extracts the Auto Installer folder to the selected location.
Note: The extracted Auto Installer will later be used to install the software
automatically on the system in the event of generic image restoration when
the software is not pre-installed in the image.
RECOVER YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE HARD
DRIVE IS STILL ACCESSIBLE
Using the Recovery and Utility Tools
The Recovery and Utility tools consist of a variety of tools that will help you recover your
recovery image and system images, and delete the data from your hard disk.
Methods for accessing the utilities
Recovery and Utility Tools are preinstalled in a hidden partition by the factory, or
they can be accessed by using the bootable disk.
Note: The Recovery and Utility tools may be deleted from your hard disk
drive if you modify the partitions. If that occurs, you will not be able to
use the hidden partition for booting to Recovery and Utility Tools, but you
will still be able to boot from the Bootable Disk.
