- The following steps are performed by the Emergency Repair Disk:

- 1. Runs CHKDSK on the partition containing Windows NT system files. On
- Intel x86 machines, also runs CHKDSK on the system partition (this
- is optional and must be enabled manually).
-
- 2. Verifies that each file in the installation is good, through a
- checksum algorithm. If files are missing or corrupt they are
- restored from the installation disks.
-
- 3. Replaces the default system and security (SAM) Registry hives,
- subject to user confirmation.
-
- 4. Reinstalls Boot Loader (that is, the boot sector, BOOT.INI, NTLDR,
- etc.)
-
- Note: The Emergency Repair disk is machine specific, and should only
- be used on a system on which it was created.
