Updating an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup
Diskette
You may have created an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette
(Windows 95) during first-time startup, or through InterSite Welcome. If you did not, you
should create the appropriate diskette after you finish configuring the system. If you did, you
should update it any time you change the configuration of the system. The files on the
Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk 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. Use the Startup diskette to start the system in the
event you have trouble starting Windows 95.
See the operating system documentation for more information.
Ensuring PC Card Support and Operation
(Windows NT)
The optional PC Card adapter is used with devices based on standards developed by the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). See the operating
system documentation and Help for more information on PC Card device support.
To ensure proper operation of PC Card devices with a system running Windows NT, make
sure the device drivers that control PC Card device operation are set to start correctly. Do
this before using the PC Card adapter, or anomalous behavior may result. Go to Devices in
the Control Panel and do the following:
u
Set the Pcmcia device to start as a Boot device.
u
Set the Atdisk device to start as a System device.
Restart the system after making these changes. As the system restarts, run BIOS Setup and
make the following BIOS changes to ensure proper operation of specific PC Card devices:
u
For a PC Card hard disk device (ATA or AT type), go to Advanced/PCI-PnP
Configuration/PCI-PnP IRQ Exclusion and reserve IRQ 9.
