CAUTION Troubleshooting Recovering or Reconfiguring Windows 2000 or Windows NT Performing a Full Recovery of Windows NT or Windows 2000 Depending on the hardware configuration, a full system recovery takes 30 minutes to 2 hours. Remember, this procedure erases everything from the hard drive (primary partition if defined). Make sure you have backed up all data files and software applications. 1. Shut down the operating system and turn off your Workstation. 2. Unplug the Workstation from the power source. 3. If any non-standard components were added after you received the Workstation, you must restore it to its original factory configuration (remove the components). 4. Plug the Workstation into the power source. 5. Insert the HP Workstation Recovery CD-ROM containing your operating system, either Windows 2000 or Windows NT, into the CD-ROM drive and start the Workstation. 6. Press the F12 key and select the CD-ROM to boot first. The computer boots from the CD-ROM and displays a DOS-style menu. 7. Follow the on-screen instructions. 8. Several reboots are carried out. This is normal. Do not interrupt the process. Wait until a message indicates the operation has been successfully completed. 9. Remove the HP Workstation Recovery CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive. 10. The operating system and drivers are installed. Chapter 11 229
