Notebook CL57SX - Restoring The Partition

Applicable to: World-Wide

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.
2. Select the Backup/Restore system programs from the Main Menu.
3. Select the Restore the system partition to load the system setup and utility programs, and the customer and advanced diagnostics 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 I 998XXXX,I 9990303 error code ( in the Symptom-to-FRU index).

Note:
After the programs have been restored, the Diskette and F1 prompts appear, unless an operating system is present.
