Notes on Floppy Disk Drive Recognition at Server Startup
If the floppy disk drive (USB), with a floppy disk inserted, is not connected at server startup, BIOS
cannot recognize the floppy disk drive (USB). During OS installation of Windows/Linux, using
Windows Automatic System Recovery (ASR), or the Disaster Recovery Option of BrightStor ARCserve
Backup, make sure to connect the floppy disk drive (USB) with a floppy disk inserted before server
startup.

Windows Manually and at System Recovery
When performing system recovery using Windows backup data with the following software, also when
installing Windows manually, system recovery/installation might not be performed properly. This is

replacement.
