HP SureStore AutoBackup Administrator's Guide - Not Orderable

You should see a message about Copying mini OS files at the bottom of the screen as
it copies the files containing your system information from the CD to a system
folder.
Your computer then takes those files and uses them to reinstate Windows on your
machine. It then prompts you to remove the Disaster Recovery media and reboots the
computer.
Note 1 - Norton Antivirus: On some configurations, if your system has Norton
Antivirus installed, the disaster recovery process may stop at this point. (This is
because the anti-virus program file "Symevnt.386" was not included in the mini OS
image.) Simply press "Enter" and the disaster recovery process should successfully
continue.
You may also get errors for other DOS mode drivers (for example, sound drivers)
that may be loaded by the Operating System but which are not present in the mini OS
image. You can also safely ignore these messages.
Note 2 - Spurious Windows NT Error Message: On some Windows NT
configurations, a message may appear stating "At least one service has failed to
start". This error message can be ignored. On some systems, a further error message
(such as a dialog prompting: "C:\WINNT\System32\drmon\smartagt.ini file is not
found") may be displayed. Such error messages can also be ignored.
At this point, what happens next depends on whether you have a network connection
to the AutoBackup appliance and whether your disaster recovery data set includes
user data or not.
No data and no network connection
Disaster Recovery of the data files cannot be completed. You can either
Rescan or Cancel disaster recovery. If Rescan does not work, check the
network connections.
User data and no network connection
You will need to restore the data from the CD-ROM. See separate section.
Network connection and no user data
You will be able to restore the data across the network. See separate section.
Network connection and user data
You will be able to restore the data from either the CD-ROM or the network.
The default is to restore from the CD-ROM. See appropriate section.
Recovery over a network connection
If a network connection to an AutoBackup appliance is detected and user data was
included in the disaster recovery data set, you will be given the option of recovering
the data from the CD-ROM set (the default) or over the network. If user data was not
included in the disaster recovery CD-ROM set, you can only select the network
option.
