and the Storage Utility opens automatically.

No
so that you do not
restart the iVDR, yet the iVDR remains in Storage Maintenance mode. Now when
you power on after replacing the drive, the iVDR will start up in Storage
Maintenance mode and the Storage Utility will be ready to use.
3. Power off the iVDR.
4. Remove the failed media disk drive and insert a replacement media disk drive, as
explained in “Media disk removal” on page 71 .

Storage Utility opens automatically.
6. Make a new file system as explained in “Making a media file system” on page 61 .
7. Close the Storage Utility. When prompted to restart the iVDR, answer
Yes
and
restart in Normal mode.
Your iVDR is now operational, but with an empty file system and no media stored.
You can now record your media.
Using the software recovery disk image
You can restore the complete software on the system disk from a disk image stored
on the system disk’s second partition. This simplifies the process of troubleshooting
and correcting software faults.
Creating the software recovery disk image
1. From AppCenter, select
System | Shutdown
. Then in the Shutdown dialog select
Storage Maintenance
and
OK
.
The iVDR restarts into Storage Maintenance mode. This means that the disk image
you are about to create will be in Storage Maintenance mode. That way, if you ever
restore from the disk image, the iVDR will start initially in Storage Maintenance
mode and you will be able to easily restore your Media File System, as instructed
in procedures later in this chapter.
2. Insert the Recovery Program CD and use Windows
Start | Shutdown
to restart the
iVDR.
At restart the iVDR boots from the CD. The DeployCenter program loads.
