4-34 Installing the Operating System
Updating System Recovery Information
To prepare for a situation when the operating system has been destroyed, be sure to "Update
Repair Information" as well as "Update the System" when you modified the system
configuration so that the system can be recovered correctly in any case. System repair
information includes configuration files and registry files.
NOTES:
!
It is possible to save system repair information on a floppy disk, but
the information may not fully be saved in one floppy disk when the
registry has become large as a result of the installation of additional
applications. In this case, the recovery disk will not be created
correctly, but a message to inform you of that does not appear. On
Windows NT, system repair can be performed by reading the repair
information existing on the hard disk, so it is not necessary to create
a repair floppy diskette.
IMPORTANT:
!
"Update System Recovery Information" is intended to enable you to
start the system when some problem has occurred on the system and
the system will not start. "Update System Recovery Information" is
not an operation to backup the system.
