Troubleshooting

Restoring Your

Pre-installed Software

The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD

contains:

■

Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific

directories) that are unique to your LifeBook note-

book configuration for use as documented below.

■

A link to the Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)

utility on your hard disk drive.

■

Read-me files that provide additional use information

for items on this CD-ROM.

DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)

PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)

provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-

ence a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has

used DISE to create an image of everything installed on

the computer at the time you purchased it. The image is

saved on a separate partition on the hard disk. You can

use DISE to restore the factory image and return your

computer to the state in which it was shipped from

Fujitsu.

Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store

additional image files that you create. For example, if

you install several applications and save data files on

your hard disk, you can create a new image file that

includes them and then save that image file on the hard

disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can

restore the image that includes the applications and data

files you use.

Creating a Backup Image

You can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any

time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS

partition, and it must be directly before the backup

partition on your hard disk.

There are two ways to implement the DISE utility: When

booting up the system, or from the desktop.

Creating a backup image when booting up

Before creating an image at boot-up, you must first

change the boot-up priority in the BIOS so that the

system will go to the media drive first, rather than trying

to boot-up from the hard drive or an external floppy

disk drive.

To change the boot-up priority:

1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the

Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup

Utility.

2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.

3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu

and press [Enter].

4. Arrow down to the CD-ROM drive in the list, and

press the space bar (or the + key) to move the CD-

ROM drive to the top of the list. (The system

attempts to boot from the devices in the order in

which they are listed.)

5. Press [F10], then click on [Yes] to exit the BIOS

Setup Utility and return to the boot process.

After you have changed the boot priority, you can create

a backup image when you are booting up:

1. Install the DAR CD in the drive prior to booting up.

When bootup begins, a message appears informing

you that if you proceed, you will be able to:

■

Create a new backup of drive C

■

Restore a previous backup, or,

■

Restore the original factory image.

Note that creating a new backup will overwrite any

previous backups, and restoring a backup or factory

■

In order to install applications and/or

drivers from the DAR CD, you will need

to connect an external CD drive to your

system.

■

If the DAR CD is in the drive when you

boot up the system, and the Boot

Sequence is set in the BIOS to boot from

the CD drive first (see “Creating a

backup image when booting up” on

page 63), a message will appear inform-

ing you that if you proceed, you will

have a choice of: creating a new backup

of drive C:, restoring a previous backup,

or restoring the original factory image.

Note that creating a new backup will

overwrite any previous backups, and

restoring a backup or factory image will

overwrite all information on the hard

drive, including saved files. If you wish

to install drivers or applications only

from the CD, remove the disk from the

drive, reboot the system, and insert the

CD after Wi

ndows has started.

If you have access to the internet, visit the

Fujitsu Support web site at http://

us.fujitsu.com/computers to check for the

most current information, drivers and hints

on how to perform recovery and system

updates.

Using the DISE feature will reduce the

amount of usable disk space on your hard

disk drive.
