Creating a Backup Image
You can create a system 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
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.
2. 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 lock up.
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. A Fujitsu Welcome screen is
displayed after the CD is inserted.
Using the DISE feature will reduce the
amount of usable disk space on your hard
disk drive.
