Hard Drive Partitioning and Use
The drive is partitioned into 3 sections: C:, D: and E:
— The
C:
partition contains the Windows 7 operating system and software
installed by Keysight. This is an Open System which means you can install
additional software.
— The
D:
partition is reserved for data storage. The User Accounts that are
configured by Keysight have their Users folder mapped to the D: drive. This
is for the convenience of backing-up the test set measurement data. You
should always back-up the data on the D: drive to an external device. This
enables you to restore the data should the hard drive need to be replaced.e
— The
E:
partition is reserved for Keysight’s use. The primary use of the E:
drive is for storing the Calibration and Alignment data, the configuration
files for the Platform Boards and Host PC. Do not change or overwrite the
files on this drive. This could cause your instrument to not meet
specifications, or even to stop functioning correctly. Do not use this drive
for data storage. It is also recommended that you back-up the contents of
this drive by using an external device.
Disk Drive Recovery Process
The Instrument Image Recovery System can be used to repair errors on the
Internal Applications Server's C: drive or to restore the original factory
configuration of the system software. Repairing errors on the hard disk drive
may result in loss of data or files. If you need more information about the
Windows "chkdsk" error repair process, see the chkdsk documentation in the
Microsoft Windows 7 Help and Support Center. Restoring the original factory
system software does not restore any of the following items:
— Windows system configurations that were made after the instrument was
shipped from the factory. For example, Windows and Service Pack updates,
user accounts, and windows configuration settings. After an Instrument
Image Recovery System, these configurations need to be redone.
— Additional software that was installed after the instrument was shipped
from the factory. After an Instrument Image Recovery System, that software
needs to be re-installed.
Data on the desktop will be deleted during system recovery. Therefore it is
recommended that you always store your data in another folder on the D: drive,
for example
D:\Users\Instrument\Documents
