4.4.3 Configuring the IP address
Manually configure the ip:
• netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 15.154.51.85
255.255.254.0 15.154.50.1 1
Manually configure the dns settings:
• netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 16.110.135.51
The IP address information is provided later on, when omnidr.exe recovery module is run manually.
Also, the firewall must be disabled to let other systems access the cell to gain access to the Disk
Agent/OmniInet
.
4.4.4 Preparing the disk partion
Use 'diskpart' to re-partition the disk(s). Create partitions, format volumes, and assign drive letters.
Partition sizes should normally be similar to the original ones. The source of this information is the SRD
file. An important step is the assignment of the disk signature to the disk to be recovered. Without this,
the system will not boot. Additionally, make the System Reserved partition active/bootable. This also
renders the system to be recovered bootable.
