host software, NTRecover, is executed. This dialog is used to create the
client boot disk, specify host communications parameters, and establish a
connection.

6.1.1 Drive Letter
This is an optional entry that is used to indicate which drive letter NTRecover
should begin with when it assigns drive letters to client drives it maps onto the
host. Drive letters are selected by starting with the one specified and
scanning for available letters. If there are not enough unused letters following
the starting letter to map all client drives, unmapped client drives will not be
accessible from the host.
6.1.2 Comm Port
The logical serial communications port NTRecover will use for
communications on the host is selected with this pull-down menu. It is
extremely important to note that the port chosen represents a Windows
NT/2000 logical port, rather than a physical port. Logical ports are mapped
onto physical ports using the serial port Setup applet in the control panel.
