TANK-GM45 Embedded System Appendix A A One Key Recovery Page 59
TANK-GM45 Embedded System A.1 One Key Recovery Introduction The IEI one key recovery is an easy-to-use front end for the Norton Ghost system backup and recovery tool. The one key recovery provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a backup and reverting to that backup or for reverting to the factory default settings. The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.
TANK-GM45 Embedded System A.1.1 System Requirement NOTE: The recovery CD can only be used with IEI products. The software will fail to run and a warning message will appear when used on non-IEI hardware. To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions (three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by the one key recovery software.
TANK-GM45 Embedded System NOTE: Specialized tools are required to change the partition size if the operating system is already installed. A.1.2 Supported Operating System The recovery CD is compatible with both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system (OS). The supported OS versions are listed below. Microsoft Windows o o o o o o Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows CE 5.0 Windows CE 6.
TANK-GM45 Embedded System NOTE: Installing unsupported OS versions may cause the recovery tool to fail. A.2 Setup Procedure for Windows Prior to using the recovery tool to backup or restore Windows system, a few setup procedures are required. Step 1: Hardware and BIOS setup (see Section A.2.1) 73 Step 2: Create partitions (see Section A.2.2) 73 Step 3: Install operating system, drivers and system applications (see Section A.2.3) 73 Step 4: Build-up recovery partition (see Section A.2.
