need the "Documentation and Drivers" CD supplied. Additional controllers unknown to the
operating system must be made known to the recovery system and to the Windows
operating system.

Press the F6 or the "Load Driver" icon key while booting and follow the on-screen
instructions. During the rest of the installation, you will be asked several times for the
missing driver of the controller.
Booting from recovery CD or DVD
1.
Press <ESC> when BIOS outputs the message
Press <F2> to enter Setup or <ESC> to show the Boot menu
to boot from the Recovery CD or DVD. The boot menu displayed after initialization
indicates all boot devices.

Select the CD/DVD drive.
Follow the instructions on the screen until the "Siemens SIMATIC Recovery" window is
displayed.
When using the recovery function with Windows Vista, confirm that you want to boot from
CD or DVD as soon as you restart. Otherwise the system boots from hard disk if you
have a bootable hard disk installed.

described as of section 11.2.6.
