A-12 Release Notes
This completes the OS Restore (or “Fix OS”) procedure. The system is now in a
state where data can be backed up. System settings previously located in the
C:\WINDOWS directory are now in a backup directory C:\WINDOWS.ORG.
!
CAUTION
Some or all applications might not exhibit full functionality
after the Fix OS is performed. To restore the system to its
factory-installed state, perform another OS Restore using
the Auto or Custom option.
!
CAUTION
Using the Fix OS option repetitively without using the Auto or
Custom option afterward might cause unpredictable results.
To restore the system to its factory-installed state, perform another NEC OS
Restore using the
Auto
or
Custom
option (see “Launching the OS Restore CD”
in Chapter 3 of the PowerMate ES 5200 Series User’s Guide).
SCSI Drive Limitations
The following procedures and operating limitations apply to systems whose only
hard drive is a SCSI device.
Booting from a CD
In systems with only a SCSI hard drive, it is not possible to boot from an IDE
CD-ROM drive.
Using the NEC OS Restore CD with a SCSI Drive
If a situation arises in which a full operating system restore must be performed
using the NEC OS Restore CD, first boot the system from the bootable diskette.
(This might be necessary, for example, if the system does not boot from the hard
drive.) The bootable diskette comes with all systems that have a SCSI hard
drive. After the system boots, proceed with the NEC OS Restore procedure.
