Depending on your visual and character set requirements, after being tested, the following fonts are
compatible with the Rescue and Recovery environment:
• Courier
• Times New Roman
• Comic Sans MS
Other fonts might be compatible, but have not been tested.

Changing the environment background

The background of the right panel is a bitmap graphic and is named mainbk.bmp. The mainbk.bmp file is
located in the \PREBOOT\USRINTFC directory. If you create your own bitmap image for the right-panel
background, it must conform to the following dimensions:
• 620 pixels wide
• 506 pixels high

You must place the file in the \PREBOOT\USRINTFC directory in order for the Rescue and Recovery program
to present the desired background.

Note: To get, edit, and replace the mainbk.bmp file, see “Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

Editing pdagui.ini

Changing the left-panel entries requires editing the pdaguixx.ini file, where xx is the language designation.
For information about getting pdaguixx.ini from the Rescue and Recovery environment and replacing the file,
see “Using the RRUTIL.EXE utility” on page 31.

The Rescue and Recovery program has twenty-two entries in the left panel. Although functions are different,
each entry has the same basic elements. The following is an example of a left-panel entry:

[LeftMenu] button00=2, "Introduction", Introduction.bmp, 1,

1, 0, %tvtdrive%\Preboot\Opera\ENum3.exe,
