![66LifeBook S7000 NotebookRESTORING YOUR PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWAREThe Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD contains:■Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your LifeBook note-book configuration for use as documented below.■A link to the Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) utility on your hard disk drive.■Read-me files that provide additional use information for items on this CD-ROM.DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-ence a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has used DISE to create an image of everything installed on the computer at the time you purchased it. The image is saved on a separate partition on the hard disk. You can use DISE to restore the factory image and return your computer to the state in which it was shipped from Fujitsu.Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store additional image files that you create. For example, if you install several applications and save data files on your hard disk, you can create a new image file that includes them and then save that image file on the hard disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can restore the image that includes the applications and data files you use.Creating a Backup ImageYou can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition, and it must be directly before the backup partition on your hard disk.There are two ways to implement the DISE utility: When booting up the system, or from the desktop. Creating a backup image when booting upBefore creating a backup image at boot-up, you must first change the boot-up priority in the BIOS so that the system will go to the CD drive first, rather than trying to boot-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive.To change the boot-up priority:1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup Utility.2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu and press [Enter].4. Arrow down to the CD-ROM drive in the list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move the CD-ROM drive to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot from the devices in the order in which they are listed.)5. Press [F10], then click on [Yes] to exit the BIOS Setup Utility and return to the boot process.After you have changed the boot priority, you can create a backup image when you are booting up:1. Install the DAR CD in the drive prior to booting up. When bootup begins, a message will appear informing you that continuing to boot from the CD will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files, and restore the hard drive to its factory configuration. 2. When you are asked if you want to restore the factory image, click [Y]es.Creating a backup image from the desktopTo create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary If your system was delivered with Windows 2000 as the operating system, the Windows 2000 image is on the D: partition, but the Restore Disc contains Windows XP. If you decide to restore your system from the Restore Disc, you will overwrite Windows 2000 with the Windows XP operating system.If the DAR CD is in the drive when you boot up the system, a message will appear informing you that continuing to boot from the CD will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files, and restore the hard drive to its factory configuration. If you wish to install drivers or applications only from the CD, remove the disk from the drive, reboot the system, and insert the CD after Windows has started.If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu Support web site at us.fujitsu.com/computers to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates.Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable disk space on your hard disk drive.S Series.book Page 66 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WB0003.Users-Manual-Part-2/User-Guide-400611-Page-10.png)
![67Troubleshootingto create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function.1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen, click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.3. Click Yes.DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If you created a backup image previously, the new image overwrites the old one.Enlarging the Backup PartitionIf there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition. DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the size you want.DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough unused space in that partition to take, you will not be able to resize the backup partition and create an image file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.Restoring a Backup ImageYou can restore either a factory image or a backup image you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image you restore.1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will hang.2. From the DISE main window, click Options > Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore the factory image.DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted. To re-install drivers and/or applications:1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. The LifeBook Easy Installation screen appears. 2. Select the drivers and applications you want to install from the list that is displayed.3. Click [Start]. Follow the prompts that appear to complete installation of the selected drivers and/or applications.AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING DRIVER UPDATESYour system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to check for new updates for your system.The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to [Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver Update; this will create the icon automatically.To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the following items:■Check for updates nowAllows for manual driver update search. The first time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU auto-matically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for updates and downloads them. While downloading, the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it cannot be used while the download is in process. When the update is complete, a message appears informing you of the fact.■Enable Automatic Update NotificationsAutomatically searches for new updates on a regular basis (approximately every 3 days).■Show update historyBrings up a screen that displays a history of updates that have been made via the FDU.■About Fujitsu Driver UpdateDisplays the FDU version number and copyright information■Fujitsu Driver Update ReadmeDisplays the FDU readme.S Series.book Page 67 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WB0003.Users-Manual-Part-2/User-Guide-400611-Page-11.png)
