Create an Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) or Automated System Recovery (ASR) Disk
HP recommends that you create an Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) (Windows 2000) or an
Automated System Recovery (ASR) (Windows XP) after upgrading system console software.
The repair disk saves repair information that can be used to reconstruct Windows system files,
system configuration, and startup environment variables if they become corrupted.
You might need two disks for the following procedure (in which case you will be prompted
when you need to insert the second disk).
To create or update an ERD or ASR disk:
1. Select Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Backup.
2. If you are running Windows 2000:
a. The Backup utility appears. Click Emergency Repair Disk.
You are prompted to insert a disk into drive A.
b. Label a disk Emergency Repair Disk and insert it into drive A. Click OK.
The Emergency Repair Disk utility copies repair information to the disk. When this
process finishes, you are informed that the repair information was saved successfully.
c. Click OK to quit the Backup utility.
3. If you are running Windows XP:
a. If the Backup utility is set on Wizard Mode, the Backup or Restore Wizard dialog box
appears. Click Advanced Mode.
b. Click Automated System Recovery Wizard and follow the instructions on the screen
to create an ASR disk for your system settings and hard-disk configuration information.
ASR enables you to restore the operating system to a previous state so that you can
start Windows XP Professional when other recovery methods do not work.
c. If you want to create a backup copy of your data, click Backup Wizard and follow the
instructions on the screen.
4. You have created an ERD or ASR disk. Remove the disk from the drive and store it in a
secure location.
