Error and error cause
A Boot Manager window now briefly appears. The
window contains the following options:
Firmware and
Recovery
If no key is pressed, the boot option Firmware for
standard signal generator operation is activated
automatically.
The first part of the operating system booting
procedure appears on the display:
If the instrument crashes during booting, you
can try to perform a Windows XP repair routine
by pressing the F8 key. Pressing F8 displays
the following menu:
Windows Advanced Options Menu
Please select an option:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Enable Boot Logging
Enable VGA Mode
Last Known Good Configuration (your
most recent settings that worked)
Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows
domain controllers only)
Debugging Mode
Start Windows Normally
Reboot
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight
your choice.
The repair routine can be started by selecting
“Last Known Good …”.
If the repair routine with F8 fails, the instrument
can be restarted and the boot option Recovery
called up in the Boot Manager.
The boot option Recovery permits (protected
by a confirmation query) the complete
reconstruction of the system partition (drive C).
Drive C is completely erased, reformatted and
the operating system reset to its default status.
All other drives are not affected. When the
Signal Generator is restarted with the restored
partition, the Signal Generator firmware must
be reinstalled (see chapter 4, section
“Firmware Update”).
This option is recommended if Windows XP
cannot be repaired by any other means, but the
hard disk is still functioning adequately enough
to allow the recovery image to be started.
