- Server Image for Windows NT
-
- PowerQuest recommends that you create rescue diskettes. Then if
- your hard disk becomes unbootable or you do not have access to a
- Windows server, you can boot your computer and run Server Image
- from the rescue disks.
-
- Running Server Image from Rescue Diskettes
- ------------------------------------------
- 1. Insert a bootable diskette (such as Diskette 1 of the Server
- Image rescue diskettes).
-
- 2. Reboot your machine.
-
- DOS loads and displays a prompt to insert the second Server
- Image rescue diskette and press any key to continue.
-
- 3. Insert the Server Image program floppy (Diskette #2 of the
- Server Image rescue diskettes).
-
- 4. Type PQSINT, then press <Enter>.
-
- The boot diskette includes EMM386.EXE to help load network
- drivers in high memory. However, because this file limits
- extended memory to 32 MB, you may see error #3 when you run
- Server Image from the rescue disks and work with large FAT32
- and NTFS partitions. If you do not need EMM386.EXE, you can
- delete it from the bootable floppy to avoid this error. If
- you delete the EMM386.EXE file, you must also REM or delete
- the following line in the CONFIG.SYS file on the boot
- floppy: DEVICE=EMM386.EXE.
-
- Limitations of Server Image Rescue Diskettes
- --------------------------------------------
- Be aware that when you run Server Image from the rescue diskettes
- you cannot save images to the following partitions:
-
- - FAT32 or NTFS partitions
- - Any partition that crosses or exists past the 1024 cylinder boundary
- - Any partition that resides in an extended partition that crosses
- or exists past the 1024 cylinder boundary
-
- You can avoid these limitations by using a DOS 5.x or later boot
- floppy in place of the Server Image bootable diskette (diskette 1
- of the 2-diskette set). Creating your own boot floppy will also
- enable you to access network drives, which you cannot do with the
- rescue disks or the product running from your hard disk after a
- typical installation.
