image will overwrite all information on the hard drive,

including saved files.

2. After you click [Y]es. You will be presented with two

options: [Create New Backup] and [Restore

Backup].

After you click [Create New Backup], follow the on-

screen instructions. By selecting [Create New

Backup], a new image will be written to your backup

partition. This will overwrite any previously created

image.

Creating a backup image from the desktop

To create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive

Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be

prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary

to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD

performs the same function.

1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen,

click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a

warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.

3. Click Ye s.

DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If

you created a backup image previously, the new

image overwrites the old one.

Enlarging the Backup Partition

If there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-

tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition.

DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-

mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the

size you want.

DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS

partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough

unused space in that partition to take, you will not be

able to resize the backup partition and create an image

file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS

partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.

Restoring a Backup Image

You can restore either a factory image or a backup image

you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will

replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image

you restore.

1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection

software is enabled, DISE will hang.

2. From the DISE main window, click Options >

Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or

click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore

the factory image.

DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications

The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-

tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have

been un-installed or corrupted.

To re-install drivers and/or applications:

1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after

Windows has started. The LifeBook Easy Installation

screen appears.

2. Select the drivers and applications you want to

install from the list that is displayed.

3. Click [Start]. Follow the prompts that appear to

complete installation of the selected drivers and/or

applications.

AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING

DRIVER UPDATES

Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu

Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose

to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to

check for new updates for your system.

The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the

bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the

icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not

appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to

[Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver

Update; this will create the icon automatically.

To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on

the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of

seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the

following items:

■

Check for updates now

Allows for manual driver update search. The first

time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user

agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU auto-

matically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for

updates and downloads them. While downloading,

the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it

cannot be used while the download is in process.

When the update is complete, a message appears

informing you of the fact.

■

Enable Automatic Update Notifications

Automatically searches for new updates on a regular

basis (approximately every 3 days).

■

Show update history

Brings up a screen that displays a history of updates

that have been made via the FDU.

■

information

■

Fujitsu Driver Update Readme
