After creating the ASR set, label this floppy disk and backup media carefully and keep them together. To
use the backup media, you must have the floppy disk that you created with that set of media. You cannot
use a floppy disk created at a different time or with a different set of media. You must also have your
Windows Server 2003 with SP1 CD available at the time you perform Automated System Recovery.
Recover from an ASR set
To recover from a system failure using Automated System Recovery
1. Make sure you have the following available before you begin the recovery procedure:
• Your previously created Automated System Recovery (ASR) floppy disk.
• Your previously created backup media.
• The Windows installation CD.
2. Insert the Windows installation CD into your CD drive.
3. Restart your server.
4. If you are prompted to press a key to start the server from CD, press the appropriate key.
5. If you have a separate driver file as described in step 1, use the driver as part of Setup by pressing
F6 when prompted.
6. When prompted at the beginning of the text-only mode section of Windows Setup, press F2.
7. When prompted, insert the ASR floppy disk. Follow the directions on the screen.
Windows Setup proceeds to format the C: drive. Setup then installs a minimal operating system on
the C: drive and restores information stored on the back up target device.
If you backed up the ASR set to a hard disk, wait for the first reboot before connecting that hard disk
to the server.
