Restoring the Partition (8551)



Restoring the Partition

If a computer or hard disk problem prevents system setup or diagnostic programs from being loaded from the protected partition, load and run the programs from the Reference Diskette. If no errors are found, restore the programs to the protected partition on the hard disk using the following procedure.
  1.  Start the computer with the customer's backup copy of the Reference  Diskette installed.

    NOTE:   The languages of the Reference Diskette and the computer must  match.

  2.  Select 2. Backup/Restore system programs  from the Main Menu.
  3.  Select 3. Restore the system partition  to load the system setup and utility programs, and the customer and advanced  diagnostic programs onto the system partition of the hard disk.


If this does not correct the problem, use the backup copy of the Reference Diskette to format the hard disk and then restore the programs to the protected partition. If the problem remains, return to the I998XXXX, I9990303 error code (in the 'Symptom-to-FRU Index').

NOTE: After the programs have been restored, the Insert-Diskette icon appears, unless an operating system is present.
