Reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling software
Using the Restore CD
27
EasyRestore formats the hard drive, verifies the hard drive
format, copies Windows 98 and the original software back onto
the hard drive, and verifies the integrity of the restored image.
Depending on the size of the hard drive, typical restore times are
between 10 and 20 minutes.
Do not interrupt the transfer process
or you will have to start over from the beginning.
When the restoration is complete, the program prompts you to
reboot the system.
8.
Press the CD-ROM drive’s Eject button and remove the
Restore CD.
9.
Using the mouse, move the pointer to the Reboot button on the
screen and click it.
As the system reboots, Windows 98 automatically detects the
drivers for the original iDOT.com hardware.
Windows 98 prompts you to install drivers for any third-party
hardware you may have added to the system. If you’ve installed
any third-party hardware, you’ll need to provide the appropriate
drivers when Windows 98 prompts you for them. You’ll find
these drivers on the diskettes or CDs that came with the third-
party hardware.
10.
After Windows 98 finishes installing drivers, it prompts
you to restart the computer. Click Yes.
The computer restarts.
11.
When the computer prompts you to re-enter your user name,
company name, and Windows 98 software Product ID, enter that
information as you did when you originally set up your computer
(see page 9).
12.
After you finish setting up Windows 98, re-install any third-party
software applications you may have previously installed on your
system’s hard drive.
13.
Copy the important files you previously saved back onto your
hard drive. (See the Warning on page 25).
