Crisis Recovery Diskette
It is unlikely that anything will damage the BIOS; however, a recovery disk should be created to
ensure a quick recovery should it happen.
The following steps explain how to create the crisis
recovery diskette.
If an incident occurs that corrupts the BIOS, such as the interruption of the BIOS
update process, see Recovering the BIOS on page 78 for instructions on performing a BIOS
recovery.
You can obtain the Crisdisk.exe file needed to create the crisis disk from the Intel Customer
Support Web site:
Creating the Crisis Recovery Diskette
NOTE
The crisis recovery diskette must be created on a Windows 98, Windows 2000,
or Windows XP system.
Use the following steps to create the diskette:
1.
Create an empty folder at the Windows workstation.
2.
Copy the Crisdisk.exe folder into the folder and type Crisdisk to extract the contents of the self-
extracting file into the folder.
3.
Insert an empty diskette into the A: drive.
4.
While in the folder with the Crisdisk contents, type Wincris.
You will be prompted by a screen
that contains three options:
•
Create MINIDOS Crisis Disk:
Installs the necessary recovery files onto the A: drive. Use
this option if the diskette you are using is already formatted and bootable.
•
Create FULLDOS Crisis Disk:
Makes the floppy disk in A: bootable and then installs the
necessary recovery files. Use this option if the diskette you are using is blank, but not
bootable.
•
Format the A: Drive Diskette:
Formats the diskette in the A: drive. Use this option if the
diskette is not blank.
When this option is complete, you will then need to use the “Create
FULLDOS Crisis Disk option.”
When the crisis diskette has been created, you will be prompted with a message to remove the
diskette. You will then be asked whether you want to create additional crisis diskettes.
