You should take advantage of the tools provided by InterSite Welcome to ensure that your
system is fully ready for use. See InterSite Welcome for more information. Also see the
following sections for information on creating a repair disk and creating backup diskettes.
Creating a Repair Disk
If you did not create an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette (Windows
95 or Windows 98) during Setup, use the tools provided by InterSite Welcome to do so. The
files on these diskettes can restore the original contents of a damaged operating system Registry
(that is, at the time the operating system was installed), along with the standard operating
system drivers. You should also update an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup diskette after
you finish configuring the system.
See the operating system documentation and Help for information on creating an Emergency
Repair Disk or a Startup diskette.
Creating System Software Backup Diskettes
Backup diskettes for some device driver software and system software products are not
delivered with the system. Use InterSite Version Manager, available through InterSite
Welcome, to create system software backup diskettes.
Version Manager lets you create backup diskettes containing device driver software and system
software products that were installed on the system before shipment, and which are not
available on the operating system CD-ROM. You may need these backup diskettes later -- for
example, if you have to reinstall a device driver or the operating system.
WARNING
You must create system software backup diskettes after you set up the system hardware
and complete the operating system Setup program. If you do not do this, you may not
be able to reinstall critical system software or the operating system if needed.
NOTE
You may not have to create backup diskettes for all system software. If Version Manager does
not list drivers or other system software products, they are available on the operating system
software CD-ROM or on backup diskettes delivered with expansion cards.
