Creating an emergency recovery-repair diskette in Windows XP Note: To create and use a diskette, you must add a diskette drive to the computer. To enable a USB diskette drive to work, you must disable the legacy diskette drive function in the Configuration/Setup Utility program (click Startup Sequence Options → Legacy USB Support). At your earliest opportunity, create a recovery-repair diskette and an IBM Enhanced Diagnostics diskette, and store them in a safe place. In the unlikely event that the computer becomes unusable, you can use the recovery-repair diskette to access the Product Recovery program. For more information about using the recovery-repair diskette see the Problem Determination and Service Guide. In Windows XP, you can create a recovery-repair diskette from the c:\ibmtools directory or from the Product Recovery program partition. To create a recovery-repair diskette from the c:\ibmtools directory, complete the following steps: 1. Start the computer and operating system. 2. Use Windows Explorer to display the directory structure of the hard disk. 3. Open the c:\ibmtools folder. 4. Double-click rrdisk.bat and follow the instructions on the screen. Chapter 2.
