Complete Rebuilding the System
Once you have installed the recovery CD you need to perform a few
remaining steps before the system is fully functional:
1. When you loaded the recovery CD and restarted the system, the Microsoft
operating system might have assigned different drive letters to your
drivers. Although this does not cause problems for Avid/DS, you might
need to reassign the original drive letters for other programs.‘
2. Reinstall the Softimage.lic license file. See Installing Avid|DS on page 88.
3. If you are using the Recovery CD to upgrade your system, you must install
the new firmware in the Avid Equinox sub-system (See Installing the Avid
Equinox Video Subsystem Driver on page 69).
4. If you had striped volumes on the system you must reconnect them. See
Importing Foreign Disks on page 154.
5. Configure your network adapter if required.
6. Install the latest drivers and Avid|DS QFEs (if any).
See Upgrading Your Workstation on page 61 the list of drivers you need to
install after you use the Recovery CD.
We suggest you use Avid|DS “as is” to determine if the source of the problem
has been fixed by the recovery installation. You can add additional software
and devices one at a time, but be sure to perform short tests each time you
install new software.
