Chapter 5. Using the IBM Product Recovery CD

The IBM Product Recovery CD is provided with your computer so that you
can reinstall Windows NT and preinstalled applications and device drivers
in case of a hard disk failure or other damage to your Windows NT files.

Warning:  

The recovery process deletes all the information stored on the

primary partition (drive C). If possible, back up your data before
starting this process.

The Product Recovery CD contains a Windows 98 startable CD image that
copies files from the CD to the hard disk. Although the CD initially runs
Windows 98 DOS, it installs Windows NT Workstation 4.0.

Your computer was shipped from the factory with a FAT16 primary
partition. The Product Recovery CD for Windows NT will work correctly
only if your primary partition is FAT16. If your primary partition is not
FAT16, you will see a message about an invalid partition that needs to be
repartitioned with the FDISK command.

To run the FDISK command from the Product Recovery CD, type FDISK at
the command prompt. Delete the primary partition, leave the Product
Recovery
 CD in the CD-ROM drive, and restart the computer. The Product
Recovery
 CD partitions your hard disk correctly.

Recovering the operating system and support software

Use the following steps to recover the factory-installed operating system
and software:

1. Make backup copies of configuration files and any files you created.

Any files not backed up will be lost.

2. Insert the IBM Product Recovery CD into your CD-ROM drive.

3. The IBM Product Recovery CD allows the user to perform:

Ÿ

Full Recovery

 reformats your hard disk and restores to original

preload image

Ÿ

Partial Recovery

 recovers Windows NT and all device drivers. It

does not restore any preinstalled applications.

Ÿ

Repair

 runs the Windows NT 4.0 emergency repair utility. (For

instructions on creating the repair diskettes, see the Windows NT
publication provided with your computer.)
