on files that could not be recovered, see “Files Not Recovered” on page 1-

Your recovery is complete. Remove any diskettes and CDs from your
drive(s) and restart your computer.

NOTE: It may be necessary to restart your computer more than once if any
hardware in your system has changed since your DR Set was created.

For Windows NT

The Disaster Recovery process for Windows NT begins with a minimal
install of the Windows NT Workstation, performed from the Disaster
Recovery Set.

HP Disaster Recovery screens will display messages instructing you when
to insert the diskettes and CD(s) from your Disaster Recovery Set. Once
the Setup portion of the minimal install has been completed, the Disaster
Recovery Wizard will appear and guide you through the rest of the
recovery process.

To recover your data:

1. You should first decide if another recovery method is possible. For

example, if the problem appears to be associated with the Windows
operating system, such as a corrupt registry, try to recover by following
the steps outlined in your Microsoft Windows User’s Manual before
attempting the following procedures. If you have determined that a hard-
drive failure has occurred, proceed to Step 2.

2. Replace any damaged hard-drives with comparable drives.

In order to recover all of your information, HP Disaster Recovery must
have at least as much hard disk space as existed before the drive failure.

3. Insert the Windows NT Workstation Setup Boot Disk (diskette #1 of the

DR Set) into into the 3.5” floppy drive from which your computer boots,
and restart your computer.

You will be guided through a partial NT installation.
