IMPORTANT:
The drives in the system you are servicing may have been
rearranged, or the drive startup sequence has changed. Be
extremely careful during write operations, such as copying, saving, or

Ask the customer to back up any additional
software from the hard disk drive before you reload the
software.

symptom is found, or when a symptom appears to have
been cured; the preceding steps should be repeated for
accuracy of analysis.)
