Recovering Hard Disk Drive Contents, Image Engineer - Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM

Page 49 highlights

Recovering Hard Disk Drive Contents In the unlikely event of a hard disk crash, you can recover your PC Workstation's preloaded operating system and software using the PC Image Engineer - Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM1 supplied with your PC Workstation. Some of the available functions on the Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM are described below: • Full Recovery: Restores the operating system, drivers, utilities and Special Disk Partition as supplied by default. A full recovery also automatically erases any viruses that might be present on the Master Boot Record. It should be noted, however, that this function reformats your hard disk drive. It is highly recommended, if possible, that you save all data files and software installations. • Minimal Recovery: Restores only the operating system and SCSI driver for access to a SCSI hard disk drive. • Partial Recovery: Restores individual drivers which are supplied in a "browseable area" of the CD-ROM. • Copy OS Master Files: For use when Windows prompts you to insert the operating system media when installing additional drivers. • HP DiagTools: Checks the system configuration and operation. Also described on page 45. NOTE Any software that has been installed on the PC Workstation after it has been purchased, and any personal data that has been generated by applications installed on the PC Workstation, are not covered by the recovery process. When using the Full Recovery option, any hardware that has been installed in the PC Workstation after it has been purchased will require that the necessary drivers be re-installed. In the case where hardware has been removed you may have to remove the unneccessary drivers. Refer to your Kayak User's Guide delivered with the PC Workstation for instructions on how to perform a recovery, upgrade or downgrade. 1. Some models are not provided with an Image Creation & Recovery CD-ROM. If you do not have an Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM, reinstall the operating system from the CD-ROM provided for this purpose with your PC Workstation. Any drivers you need to reinstall can be downloaded from HP's Support Web site at: www.hp.com/go/kayaksupport.
