Changing the environment background

The background of the right panel is a bitmap graphic and is named mainbk.bmp.
The file mainbk.bmp is located in the \PREBOOT\USRINTFC directory. If you
create your own bitmap image for the right-panel background, it must conform to
the following dimensions:
v

620 pixels wide

v

506 pixels high

You must place the file in the \PREBOOT\USRINTFC directory in order for the
Rescue and Recovery program to present the desired background.

Note:

To get, edit, and replace the mainbk.bmp file, see “Using RRUTIL.EXE” on

page 30.

Editing pdagui.ini

Changing the left-panel entries requires editing the pdaguixx.ini (where xx is the
language designation) file. For information about getting pdaguixx.ini from the
Rescue and Recovery environment and replacing the file, see “Using RRUTIL.EXE”
on page 30.

The Rescue and Recovery program has twenty-two entries in the left panel.
Although functions are different, each entry has the same basic elements. The
following is an example of a left-panel entry:

[LeftMenu] button00=2, "Introduction", Introduction.bmp, 1,

1, 0, %tvtdrive%\Preboot\Opera\ENum3.exe,
