Locating the Recovery Image
The location of your recovery image depends on the Windows OS and the Avid application.
• On Windows 7 systems, the recovery image is on the 16 GB flash drive that ships with
the AS3000 server. Store the flash drive in a safe place.
• For ISIS systems, see the setup guide for your ISIS product.
• For all other systems, the recovery image ships on the D: partition of the system drive.
On these systems, a tool for copying the image to a USB Flash drive is located in the
following folder: C:\Avid_Recovery_Tool.
c
For systems that ship with the recovery image on the D: partition, Avid highly
recommends you copy the image to the 16 GB USB flash drive provided with your
AS3000.

When you perform a full product recovery of the Avid AS3000 system drive, you lose
the product recovery image and data on the D: partition of the system drive.
Creating a Product Recovery USB Flash Drive
Your order contains one blank 16 GB USB flash drive for each server to be used for creating
your recovery drive. Use the flash drive to create your recovery drive except in the case of
the Windows 7 servers, whose flash drives have already been programmed.
The following procedure describes how to create the product recovery USB flash drive by
copying the image from the D: drive. Once you have created the bootable USB flash drive
using the Product Recovery tool, you will be able to re-install the operating system and
drivers as it was shipped from Avid.

When you perform a full product recovery of the Avid AS3000 system drive using the

partition.
