Important: 1. No backup diskettes for your preinstalled software are shipped with your computer. However, the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD contains most of your IBM-preinstalled programs and device drivers. In addition, the Windows NT operating system (provided by Microsoft and not modified by IBM) is provided on a separate CD for backup purposes. This CD does not contain the updated device drivers and other software that are preinstalled in your computer. Use the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 CD (and the diskettes referred to in note 3b) in conjunction with the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD if you need to reinstall the operating system. (Diskettes for your Windows NT operating system and preinstalled software are not available from IBM.) For more information about reinstalling Windows NT and Service Pack 3 or 4, refer to Chapter 5, "Using the Windows NT CD" on page 23. 2. The device drivers and some programs are also available on the World Wide Web at http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/files.html, or on the IBM PC Bulletin Board System (BBS). For the BBS numbers, see the "Getting Help, Service, and Information" chapter in the Using Your Personal Computer booklet. Also, you might find updated device drivers and files on the World Wide Web or BBS. 3. At your earliest opportunity, create the following diskettes: a. The Microsoft Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk. This diskette can be used for some recovery purposes. (For instructions on creating the diskette, see the Windows NT publication provided with your computer.) b. The Microsoft Windows NT Setup Boot Disks. These diskettes must be used along with the Windows NT CD if you need to reinstall Windows NT. (For instructions on creating these diskettes, refer to "Creating the Windows NT Setup Boot Disks" on page 7.) c. An IBM Enhanced Diagnostic diskette. This self-starting diskette can be used to isolate problems with your computer. (For instructions on creating the diskette, see Chapter 7, "Using Your Diagnostic Programs" on page 27.)
