Hard Drive Recovery Process
The Agilent Recovery System can be used to repair errors on the test set's C: drive
partition, or to restore the original factory configuration of the system software. The
Agilent Recovery System is stored in a separate hidden hard disk drive partition.
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 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 test set was shipped from
the factory. For example, Windows and Service Pack updates, user accounts, and
windows configuration settings. After an Agilent Recovery, these configurations
need to be redone.
• Additional software that was installed after the test set was shipped from the factory.
After an Agilent Recovery, that software needs to be re-installed.
• Any data or programs saved on the D: or E: drives.
• Any upgrades that were made to the Agilent measurement application software.
Restoring the original factory system software will not synchronize the code in the Field
Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) on the various hardware assemblies. As a result,
you may see an error dialog box appear during the final boot-up at the end of the
recovery process. This typically occurs when there are significant differences between
the software version installed prior to performing the recovery and the version restored
by the recovery. In these situations, upgrade the software to the latest version.
It is recommended that routine backups of the test set information be performed to keep
current archives of the test set information. This allows a full recovery of the test set
information after the test set recovery system operations are performed. See
“Backup" on page 62 for more details.
It is recommended that you use a regular back up strategy. Your IT
department may already have a back up strategy in place which is suitable
for the test set and its data. See
“System Maintenance"
on page 62
. Using
the Agilent Recovery System in conjunction with a regular back up
strategy should allow you to fully recover the test set software and data.
