Chapter 4: Backing Up and Restoring System Software
Restoring a 3070
System from the
System Recovery
DVD
Introduction
This procedure describes how to install system recovery
software on your Agilent 3070 system controller (MS
Windows®
*
system only).
Restore from the System Recovery DVD only if:
■ the operating system will not boot, and
■ the main system disk drive fails, and
■ the file structure is corrupted or lost, and
■ the backup tape was never created or is corrupt.
Restoration takes about 10 minutes.
Required Materials
■ The System Recovery DVD (E9970-19415) that
was shipped with your system.
CAUTION
✸
The System Recovery DVD is unique to each
computer. The DVD case is labeled with the serial
number of the computer for which it was created.
Using the wrong DVD for recovery may result in
a defective system.
CAUTION
✸
Restoration from the System Recovery DVD will
format the C: drive and reload it to a factory
default state. You will not be able to boot the
testhead because certain files which are unique to
your system are not restored by this process.
Before doing this procedure, verify that you have
a backup copy of these unique files:
■ \Agilent3070\diagnostics\th1\config
■ \Agilent3070\diagnostics\th1\config.o
■ \Agilent3070\lib\.enable
■ \Winnt\System32\drivers\etc\bootptab.
To restore these files after the recovery procedure,
see Administering Agilent 3070 Systems (MS
Windows®). For restoring codewords, see
Installing Codewords on a 3070. For help, consult
your Agilent systems engineer.
After system restoration, you must also
reconfigure the IO for the GPIB Card. Follow the
System Recovery Procedure and IO Configuration
Procedure on page 29.
