Each tool of the Norton Utilities has context-sensitive help,
available at a touch of the ^BF1^B key.

Whenever you are using a dialog box and you want instructions
on how to proceed, press ^BF1^B. When you've got a menu pulled
down, you can move the highlight to any item and press ^BF1^B for
help on that item.

When you are first getting familiar with a tool, you will
find it helpful to select the ^b[Index]^b button at the bottom
of any help screen. It displays a list of topics, at least
one of which provides background and introductory material.

^hHyperlinks^h are highlighted phrases in a help topic that 
transfer you to another topic. Select the ^b[Go To]^b button
(just press ^bG^b) or double-click the hyperlink text. Select
the ^b[Go Back]^b button (just press ^bB^b) to return to the
original topic. When ^hmore than one hyperlink^h is on a screen,
press ^bTab^b or ^bShift^b+^bTab^b to move among them.

(Here's a simple insurance policy for hard disks.

Three sets of information are critical to the well-being of
your hard disk. ^bWhen your system is healthy^b, use this tool to
make a record of the current settings. Then, if something bad
happens, you have a way to restore those known-to-be-good
settings.

  ^BCMOS Information^B: Includes the settings put in place when
  you run "Setup" on your AT-compatible or more advanced
  computer. Especially critical are the "hard disk type"
  codes. Wrong values keep the disk from booting (among
  other problems).

  ^BPartition Information^B: Includes the "master boot record" (at
  side 0, cylinder 0, sector 1) and Partition Table for all hard
  disks. This is a description of the physical characteristics
  of each disk, how it has been divided up into DOS drives, and
  whether you have any other operating systems on the same disk.
  Wrong information in here will keep the disk from booting
  and/or make DOS unaware of its existence.

  ^BBoot Information^B: This is the DOS Boot Record. DOS depends
  on accurate information in this sector or it can't find the
  FAT, root directory, that spreadsheet, the payroll, or
  anything.

If a virus does some nasty business on your hard disk, if the
CMOS battery goes dead on your computer, or if in moving your
computer, the hard disk gets a bump on the head and Norton
Disk Doctor can't fix it ── pull out the rescue disk, and use
the ^hRestore Rescue Information^h procedure. You'll probably
need this disk once every two or three years.

^bNote:^b To get a printed report of all the information saved
      here, use the ^hSystem Information^h report feature; it
      displays and prints out this same information, but in
      a form readable by people.

^bTip^b:  Use the Norton ^hImage^h program as an added precaution;
      it saves additional DOS-specific information that changes
      often, such as your directory structures and so forth.
Creating a rescue disk is the single most important thing you
can do to protect the data on your hard disk. For this reason,
the Norton engineers have made it simple. Follow the procedure
below even if you don't know the difference between a hard disk
and a slipped disk.

^bTo create a rescue disk:^b
  1 Press ^bEnter^b to select [Create] in the first Rescue
    Disk screen. The Create Rescue Disk dialog box appears.
  2 Insert either a new floppy disk or one that doesn't contain
    anything you want to keep in the A: drive.
  3 Press ^bEnter^b to select [Create]. The Rescue Disk program
    automatically creates the rescue disk.
  4 Label the disk "Rescue Disk" and store it in a safe place.

See also: ^hCreate^h
2	This tool is easy to use. Specify the drive to hold the rescue
files and select [Create] (press ^bAlt^b+^bC^b). If you choose a floppy
drive (recommended), Rescue Disk makes the disk bootable and
copies your system startup files as well as a suite of remedial
tools. This way, if you have to use your rescue disk, you can
start your system from it. 

^BCaution:^B You can specify any drive to hold the rescue files,
         but don't use a local hard drive. After all, how can
         you restore the data from a drive you can't access?
         You can, however, safely use a network drive to hold
         the rescue files.

If you use a floppy disk, write something like "Norton Rescue
Disk for Jill's 486" on the disk label, write protect the disk,
and put the disk away in a safe place. 

^bNote:^b Update your Rescue Disk each time you make a major
      configuration change, such as adding or removing a hard
      disk, installing a new version of DOS, and so on.

Press ^bTab^b to move around the screen, press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to
drop down list boxes, and press ^bSpacebar^b to check or
uncheck the check boxes.

^bSave Rescue Information To:^b
  Specify the disk to hold the rescue files. If you choose a
  drive other than a floppy drive, a text box appears when you
  select [Create] to specify the directory.

^bRescue Diskette Type:^b
  Use this option if you want to use a 360K disk in a 1.2M drive
  or a 720K disk in a 1.4M drive.

^b[ ] Format Rescue Diskette^b
  Leave this checked as an extra precaution. You'll be sure that
  your rescue disk is in good condition.

^b[ ] Update changed files only^b
  This option is only available if Format Rescue Diskette is not
  checked. Use it if you're updating an existing rescue disk.

^bRescue Disk Contents^b
  Files marked with an asterisk (*) are always placed on the
  rescue disk. Rescue Disk also tries to place as many other
  important files on the rescue disk as will fit. These include
  both recovery tools and other files (such as device drivers)
  that you need to properly start your system. Use ^b^b and ^b^b to
  scroll the list. Press ^bSpacebar^b to uncheck any you don't want
  to include. Select [^hBrowse^h] to specify any other files that
  you want to include on the rescue disk.

4Use this tool when you can't access a hard disk and the
^hNorton Disk Doctor^h is unable to fix the problem.

This restores all (or selected parts) of the information saved
in a previous use of the ^hCreate Rescue Disk^h procedure.
In the ^bRestore Rescue Information^b dialog box, you decide
which information to put back in place.

^bRestore Rescue Information From:^b
  If you've saved your rescue information on a floppy disk,
  enter the drive letter (don't forget the colon). Usually,
  this is the A: drive. If you've saved the information
  elsewhere, enter the directory path. Or, select [^hNew Path^h]
  to avoid typing a long pathname.

To check an option, use ^B^B and ^B^B to move the cursor and press
^BSpacebar^B to toggle the option on. When satisfied with your
choices, press ^BEnter^B to select [Restore]. Press ^BEsc^B at any time
to back out.

^BPartition Tables^B:
  These can get messed up by unwise use of the DOS FDISK
  program. Or perhaps when you added a second hard disk,
  something happened to the partition information in the
  first disk.

^BBoot Records^B:
  These might get modified accidentally by the DOS SYS command.
  Don't check this if you have installed a newer version of DOS
  since you created your rescue disk.

^BCMOS Information^B: 
  This gets lost if the battery dies or gets removed for any
  length of time. The most common use of this tool is to check
  this option and restore only the CMOS data.
Use this handy dialog box to select a directory and avoid
typing a long pathname.

^bTo select a directory:^b
  1 Press ^bTab^b to select the Drive: drop-down list box.
  2 Press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to drop down the list and select the
    appropriate drive.
  3 Press ^bTab^b to access the Subdirectories list box.
  4 Use ^b^b and ^b^b to highlight a directory and press ^bEnter^b.
    The directory appears in the Path: text box. Select ^b\^b to
    start at the root directory.
  5 Select [OK] (press ^bAlt^b+^bO^b) when the path is complete.
Use this handy dialog box to find a file and avoid typing a
long pathname.

^bTo locate a file:^b
  1 Press ^bTab^b to select the Drive: drop-down list box.
  2 Press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to drop down the list and select the
    appropriate drive.
  3 Press ^bTab^b to access the Directories list box. Use ^b^b and ^b^b
    to highlight a directory and press ^bEnter^b. Select ^b..^b to move
    one level higher in the directory tree. The Files list
    box displays the files in the selected directory. 
  4 Press ^bTab^b to access the Files list box. Use ^b^b and ^b^b to
    highlight a file. Its name appears in the File: text box.
  5 Select [OK] (press ^bAlt^b+^bO^b) to choose the file.

^bNote:^b You can use wildcard specifiers in the File: text box to
      selectively display filenames in the Files list box.
