ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide

Installing Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Small Business Server 2003
Recovery option #4: ASR (Automated System Recovery)
ASR provides a backup of all of the necessary system state data, system services and
disks associated with the operating system components. Use ASR as a last resort
option, only after the previous mentioned Recovery options have been exhausted.
ASR is a recovery system that contains two parts: ASR backup and ASR restore.
ASR backup can be accessed through the Automated System Recovery Preparation
wizard located in Backup. To access Backup, click Start > All Programs >
Accessories > System Tools > Backup. Follow the on-screen instructions to create
the ASR set.
To access the ASR restore mode:
1. Boot from the Windows 2003 CD-ROM.
2. When prompted during the text mode portion of setup, press the F2 key to
initiate Automated System Recovery.
3. Insert the Windows Automated System Recovery Disk diskette created from
ASR backup.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the system recovery.
Additional information regarding Automated System Recovery and the other
Windows 2003 Recovery options discussed previously can be found within the Help
and Support Center of Windows 2003. To access: click Start > Help and Support.
Tip #3. Restarting Windows 2003 Installation
If you want to restart the Windows 2003 installation from the very beginning, use a
utility such as FDISK to erase all data and partitions from your hard drive. You can
then resume the installation process.
