your selection. You can also tab between fields.
Note: The recovery CD does not support USB keyboards or mouse devices.
Although the recovery CD is used primarily for recovering a system disk or partition, you can
also use it to recover data disks or partitions. The recovery CD can recover multiple partitions to
a disk with existing partitions. It can also create one partition on a new disk. However, if you
want to recover multiple partitions to a new disk, you must format and partition the disk before
you use the recovery CD to recover the partitions.
To recover a system disk or partition using the recovery CD:
1. Using the appropriate procedure for your system, configure the computer to boot from the
CD-ROM drive.
2. Insert the recovery CD into the CD-ROM drive. A welcome screen will appear while the CD
initialized.
3. If you have already verified that the recovery CD supports your local hardware, or if you
have received a new recovery driver from your vendor, wait 25 seconds for Normal Mode to
start automatically and go to step 4. If this is the first time you have used the recovery CD,
press any key to start Diagnostic Mode.
The screen will display a list of all the devices found on your computer and whether or not
they are compatible with the recovery CD. You can use the arrow keys to scroll through the
list. If at least one supported network interface card (NIC) and one hard disk have been
detected, select Normal Mode and go to step 4.
If no supported NIC is found, you can gather information about your computer and send it to
Technical Support to see if an updated recovery CD or an appropriate driver is available. To
do this, select Save, insert a formatted floppy disk or USB disk into your computer, and
select the appropriate option (Save to Floppy Disk or Save to USB Disk). Once the file has
been saved to the specified location, you can send it to Technical Support. Select “Finish”
and select “Yes” to restart your computer. At this point, you have 10 seconds to remove the
recovery CD from your CD-ROM drive and boot from your local disk. Otherwise, your
computer will boot from the recovery CD again.
4. When the hardware list appears, select the network interface card (NIC) that you want to
use when recovering the data, and then select “Next”.
In most cases, there will be only one NIC, and you can simply select “Next”.
This screen displays only the NICs on this system that are supported by DiskSafe Express.
If no NICs appear on this screen, you might need to install an appropriate network driver.
Select Load Driver, select the location from which you want to install the driver (Load From
System for the local hard disk, Load From Floppy for a floppy disk drive, or Load From
CDROM for a CD-ROM drive), insert the disk in the drive (if loading from a floppy disk or
CDROM), and respond to the prompts. For information about obtaining the appropriate
driver, contact your vendor.
To see a complete list of the detected hardware, select Rescan. When you are done viewing
the list, select “OK”.
5. Review the settings for your NIC and select “Next”.
The recovery CD obtains the IP address to use from your DHCP server. If the displayed
settings are not the ones you want to use, or if no IP address is displayed, select Config and
