Restoration using the DIGITAL Recovery CD
A Recovery CD has been packaged with your system which will
allow you to fully restore your system to its configuration as
shipped from Digital. If for any reason you need to restore your
system, do the following:
NOTE
: The recovery procedure will erase all
information on your C: Drive. Backup all pertinent data
on your D: Drive (or E: Drive if available) prior to
initiating the recovery process.
1. Power off the system and insert the CD-ROM Drive
module into the expansion bay. Then place the
Recovery CD into the CD-ROM Drive.
2. Boot the system and when prompted press the [fn]+[F3]
key combination to enter the Setup Utility.
3. Load factory default settings then disable the Power
Management features in the Power menu and enable
the CD-ROM Boot option in the System menu. Then
Save and Reboot. The system will boot to the Recovery
CD. Please refer to Chapter 4 of your User’s Guide for
detailed instructions on how to enable and disable
Setup Utility options.
4. When the Microsoft Windows NT Startup Menu
appears, select the desired language to be used during
this process.
5. You will be prompted three times whether or not to
continue the recovery process. Press [ctrl]+[C] at any
prompt to exit this process or press the [Space] key to
continue.
NOTE
: Do not press any keys beyond this point.
Pressing certain keys may cause recovery failure.
