Disk Drive Recovery Process
Disk Drive Recovery Process
The Instrument Recovery System can be used to repair errors on the
instrument's C: drive partition or to restore the original factory configuration of
the system software on the disk drive. The Instrument Recovery System is
stored in a separate hidden disk drive partition.
Restoring the original factory system software does not restore any of the
following items:
— Additional software that has been installed after the instrument was
shipped from the factory. (Thus, following an Instrument Recovery any
software installed after the instrument was shipped from the factory will
need to be re-installed.)
— System configurations (for example user accounts, windows configurations)
that have been made after the instrument was shipped from the factory.
(Thus, following an Instrument Recovery configuration changes will have to
be performed.)
— The Instrument Recovery overwrites the contents of the C: partition. It does
not affect the D: or E: partitions.
It is recommended that the customer use a regular back up strategy. Your IT
department may already have a backup strategy in place that is suitable for the
instrument and its data. Using the Instrument Recovery System in conjunction
with a regular back up strategy should allow you to fully recover the
instrument's software and data.
