Reinstalling the Operating System
This chapter provides basic instructions for reinstalling the operating system and associated system
software on your
Zx
1
workstation. Before you attempt to reinstall the system software, read and
understand the entire chapter.
Before You Begin
Before you attempt to reinstall the operating system, have the following items available:
♦
Information about your system that you recorded in Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Software.”
♦
Microsoft’s operating system software CD-ROM, Service Pack CD-ROM, and associated
diskettes. Make sure you have any operating system Setup diskettes delivered with the
system.
♦
Microsoft’s operating system documentation.
♦
Backup diskettes you created in Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Software.” If you did not create
backup diskettes as directed in Chapter 2, you can still create them by using InterSite Version
Manager. Insert the Intergraph System CD delivered with your system into any computer
running Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, or Windows 95 and run Version
Manager. Create backup diskettes for the system software listed for your system in Version
Manager.
♦
Backup diskettes or software CD-ROMs and documentation delivered with any expansion
cards or additional peripheral devices you purchased with the system.
♦
The Late-Breaking News document delivered with the system, if applicable.
Finding System Software Products
Most driver software and other system software products installed on your system are available on
the Intergraph System CD delivered with the system. If a system software product is not available
there, you can find it in one the following locations:
♦
Microsoft’s operating system software CD-ROM.
♦
Diskettes or software CD-ROMs delivered with expansion cards or peripheral devices.
♦
Intergraph Computer Systems’ online services (see this document’s Preface).
CAUTION
You must install certain drivers from backup or other diskettes. The correct driver
versions may not be on the operating system CD-ROM. If a driver version is
delivered on backup diskette or in Version Manager, that version should be used
instead of what is available on the operating system CD-ROM.
