Restoring the Partition
If a computer or hard disk problem prevents system setup
or diagnostic programs from being loaded from the
protected partition, load and run the programs from the
Reference Diskette. If no errors are found, restore the
programs to the protected partition on the hard disk using
the following procedure.
1. Start the computer with the customer's backup copy
of the Reference Diskette installed.
Note: The languages of the Reference Diskette and
the computer must match.
2. Select 2. Backup/Restore system programs from
the Main Menu.
3. Select 3. Restore the system partition to load the
system setup and utility programs, and the customer
and advanced diagnostic programs onto the system
partition of the hard disk.
If this does not correct the problem, use the backup copy
of the Reference Diskette to format the hard disk and then
restore the programs to the protected partition. If the
problem remains, return to the I998XXXX, I9990303 error
code (on page 90 in the Symptom-to-FRU index).
Note: After the programs have been restored, the
Insert-Diskette icon appears, unless an operating
system is present.
Setting System Configuration
If you configure the computer using 4. Set configuration
from the Reference Diskette, make sure the languages of
the Reference Diskette and the computer match.
