Creating a Repair Disk
If you did not create an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette
(Windows 95 or Windows 98) during Setup, use the tools provided by InterSite Welcome to
do so. The files on these diskettes can restore the original contents of a damaged operating
system Registry (that is, at the time the operating system was installed), along with the
standard operating system drivers. You should also update an Emergency Repair Disk or a
Startup diskette after you finish configuring the system. See the operating system
documentation and Help for more information.
Creating System Software Backup Diskettes
Backup diskettes for some device driver software and system software products are not
delivered with the system. Use InterSite Version Manager, available through InterSite
Welcome, to create system software backup diskettes.
Version Manager lets you create backup diskettes containing device driver software and
system software products that were installed on the system before shipment, and which are
not available on the operating system CD-ROM. You may need these backup diskettes later
-- for example, if you have to reinstall a device driver or the operating system.
WARNING You must create system software backup diskettes after you set up the system
hardware and complete the operating system Setup program. If you do not do this,
you may not be able to reinstall critical system software or the operating system if
needed.
NOTE You may not have to create backup diskettes for all system software. If Version Manager
does not list drivers or other system software products, they are available on the operating
system software CD-ROM or on backup diskettes delivered with expansion cards.
If the system requires Quick-Fix Engineering (QFE) update software, it is included in the
system software available for backup diskette creation. QFE update software contains fixes
for operating system problems or limitations, and is only shipped with the system if it is
needed. If QFE update software is shipped with the system, you should create a QFE backup
diskette for use if you have to reinstall the operating system. See the
README.TXT file on the
QFE diskette for information on the applicability and installation of QFE update software on
your system.
See Version Manager Help for information on creating system software backup diskettes.

boards for new and updated drivers.
