• Windows NT Repair Disk is essential to successful restoration of
a user system in the event of a damaged operating system
component. The emergency repair disk (ERD) should be updated
any time a change to the operating system occurs. This can happen
whenever hardware is added or removed or applications have
been installed or removed.
• Disk Configuration saves the disk configuration on a system,
such as striped sets of drives or drive letter assignments. The disk
configuration should be saved to a disk. This permits a successful
restoration of the disk configuration in the event of a hardware
failure or other problems. This information is also saved as part of
the repair disk process.
• Windows NT Boot Disk permits access to the system disk in the
event Windows NT will not start. A boot disk must be created
from a functional Windows NT system
.
Installing Drivers
Although drivers might be shipped on floppy disks with the Avid
boards in the kit, the digital media board set and edit display
controller board drivers are included with the NewsCutter Release 2.x
software CD-ROM. See the NewsCutter Release Notes for instructions on
installing the software. Do not use any Windows NT drivers for
Avid-supplied boards.
The release notes include the following sections:
• Edit Display Controller Board Driver — The driver installed with
the NewsCutter Release 2.x software, but you need to apply the
display driver as described in the Avid NewsCutter Release Notes.
• Reinstalling the Network Driver — If you installed a PCI board
into a 64-bit slot on the IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6866 system after
you installed your network software, reinstall your network
software to avoid problems.
