Fix OS Restore Option
Fix OS is a Restore option on the NEC OS Restore CD for PowerMate systems with the
Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating systems. The Fix OS restore option reinstalls the
Windows operating system while leaving data files intact. It allows you to restore your system to
the point where you can back up your data files. This option is intended as a precursor to a full
format and restore (see “Fixing the Operating System” in Chapter 3 of the PowerMate 2000
Series User’s Guide).
The Fix OS restore option attempts to restore the Windows operating system as it was shipped
on your system. If you updated any of the applications that shipped with the system, such as
Internet Explorer, the Fix OS function might display a series of error messages. If error
messages are displayed, move the error message windows so that they are not layered on top of
each other. Click the
OK
button to continue the Fix OS restore process.
