NEC Select Install CD
The following sections provide information about the operating system (OS)
restore (“Fix OS”) option on the NEC Select Install CD. Please use this
information in place of the Fix OS information in the Chapter 3 “NEC Select
Install CD” sections of your PowerMate 8100 Series User’s Guide.
Using the Fix OS Restore Option
“Fix OS” is a Restore option on the NEC Select Install CD for Windows 95 and
Windows 98 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 the next section,
“Restoring the Operating System,” to perform the Fix OS procedure.
Restoring the Operating System
Follow these steps to restore the operating system to a state for retrieving and
backing up data without repartitioning or reformatting the hard drive. Once all
data is backed up, perform another OS Restore using the Auto or Custom
options.
!
CAUTION
The Auto and Custom OS Restore programs delete all the data on your hard
drive. If possible, back up your data before performing an OS Restore with these
options.
