Installation
Creating an Emergency Startup Disk
Now that you have completed the basic installation process, you should create an
emergency startup disk. The emergency startup disk contains basic files to restart
your instrument in case of a major hardware or software failure. The disk also
contains files that you can use to check and format the hard disk.
CAUTION. Create this disk and store it in a safe place. It may help you recover
your Windows 2000 installation without rebuilding the entire instrument hard
disk.
Follow these steps to create the emergency startup disk for a Windows 2000
instrument:
1. Minimize the instrument application by selecting Minimize in the File
menu.
2. From the Windows taskbar, select Start > Programs > Accessories >
System Tools > Backup.
3. In the Welcome display, click Emergency Repair Disk.
4. Insert a 3.5 inch disk into the disk drive, and follow the on-screen instructions
to create the startup disk.
Backing Up User Files
Always back up your user files on a regular basis. Use the Windows Backup tool
to back up files stored on the hard disk. The Backup tool is located in the System
Tools folder in the Accessories folder.
Use these steps to back up your files:
1. Quit the instrument application by selecting the File menu Exit command.
2. Click the Windows Start button.
3. Select Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup.
4. Use the Backup Wizard to select the items you want to back up and the
destination. The destination can be the floppy drive or a third-party storage
device over one of the side-panel ports.
