Hard Drive Recovery
The NI 8351 includes two methods of restoring the original factory
condition of your hard drive. Hard drive-based recovery stores a factory
backup on a separate part of your hard drive, allowing you to restore your
controller without additional media. The NI 8351 also ships with an OS
Recovery CD that allows you to reinstall your operating system onto your
hard drive via an external CD-ROM. For more information about these
tools, refer to KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK at
ni.com/support
.
Note
Recovering the OS erases the contents of your hard disk. Back up any files you want
to keep.
Installing an OS
The NI 8351 includes a preinstalled OS. In some cases, you may want to
reinstall the OS or install a different OS from the integrated CD-ROM
drive. To install from the CD-ROM drive, you must change the boot
device; refer to the
section for more information.
