Creating an Emergency Repair Disk
If you did not create an Emergency Repair Disk during Setup, use the tools provided by InterSite
Welcome to do so. See the operating system documentation and Help for information on creating
an Emergency Repair Disk. You should also update an Emergency Repair Disk after you finish
configuring the system.
In the event of corrupted disk drives, the files on the Emergency Repair Disk restore the contents
of the operating system registry at the time the operating system was installed, along with the
standard operating system drivers.
Creating System Software Backup Diskettes
CAUTION
You must have system software backup diskettes available to reinstall critical system
software or the operating system if needed.
Backup diskettes for most 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.
You may not have to create backup diskettes for all system software. If Version Manager does not
list a specific driver or other system software product, it is available on the operating system
software CD-ROM, or on backup diskettes or CD-ROMs delivered with expansion cards or
peripheral devices.
See Version Manager Help for information on creating system software backup diskettes. Visit the
support pages on the World Wide Web and vendor bulletin boards for new and updated drivers.
Creating a QFE Update Software Diskette
If the system requires Quick-Fix Engineering (QFE) update software, it is included in the system
software available for backup diskette creation. QFE update software contains fixes for operating
system problems or limitations, and is only shipped with the system if it is needed.
If QFE update software is shipped with the system, you should use Version Manager to create a
QFE update software diskette for use if you have to reinstall the operating system. See the
README
