Crisis Recovery Diskette
It is unlikely that anything will damage the BIOS. However, a recovery disk should be created to
ensure a quick recovery in case it happens. The following steps explain how to create the crisis
recovery diskette. If an incident occurs that corrupts the BIOS, such as the interruption of the BIOS
update process, see Recovering the BIOS
for instructions on performing a BIOS recovery.
You can obtain the Recovery.zip file which is packaged together with the BIOS Update Package
from the Intel Support Web site at Download Finder
.
