Restoring Your Own Image

Note:

If you do re-load an image (containing the OS) that you have created yourself following your

original activation and registration of the OS, you will NOT be required to re-activate and re-register
the OS so long as you are restoring the image to the original machine. However, you will be required
to re-activate and re-register the OS if you re-load the image onto a different machine. Prior to
shipment from MaxVision the Microsoft SYSPREP utility is used to clear out the license number and
other settings following system test. If you create your own image, and if SYSPREP is not run, and
you subsequently load your image onto another MaxPac system, then Microsoft will require activation
before use (no 30 day grace period). At this time, you will need to supply the correct OS license
number for the MaxPac and activate prior to use (this procedure may vary depending on the version
and license type of Windows used).

For the purposes of this example, we will assume that you are restoring your image from CD media
(as opposed to DVD), and that the image occupies two CDs.

1) Power-down the system.

2) Ensure that the bootable recovery DVD supplied in the accessory pack is in the system's

CD/DVD drive. In the case of a multiple DVD image, ensure Disk #1 is in the drive.
