Using the IBM Product Recovery CD
The IBM Product Recovery CD is provided with your computer so that you
can reinstall your operating system and preinstalled applications and device
drivers in case of a hard disk failure or other damage to your files.
Warning: The recovery process deletes all information stored on the
primary partition (drive C). If possible, back up your data before
starting this process.
The IBM Product Recovery CD contains a startable CD image that copies files
from the CD to the hard disk. The CD initially runs Windows 98 DOS and
then installs your original operating system (either Windows 98 or
Windows NT).
Your computer was shipped from the factory with either a FAT16 or FAT32
primary partition. The IBM Product Recovery CD for Windows NT
Workstation will work correctly only if your primary partition is FAT16.
The IBM Product Recovery CD for Windows 98 will work correctly only if
your primary partition is FAT16 or FAT32.
Important
If your primary partition is not set correctly, you will see a message
about an invalid partition that needs to be repartitioned with the FDISK
command.
To run the FDISK command from the IBM Product Recovery CD, with
the Product Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive, type
FDISK
at the
command prompt. Delete the primary partition, leave the IBM Product
Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive, and restart the computer. The IBM
Product Recovery CD partitions your hard disk correctly.
