Restoring a corrupt system drive
Use the Profile XP System Drive Rebuild CD-ROM you received with your PVS1000
and the following procedure to restore a system disk drive where the information on
the primary disk is unusable, which results in the mirror drive being unusable as well.
Before you begin (and if it is possible to do so), copy the configuration file,
C:\profile\config.cfg, and the hosts table, C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS,
onto a floppy disk or to a network drive if available.
1. Power-up the Profile XP system and press F2 to enter Setup.
2. Use the arrow keys to move the screen highlight to Boot (highlight is normally on
Boot by default).
3. Adjust the order of the boot devices as necessary so that they appear as follows:
Removable Devices
CD-ROM
Hard Drive
4. Place the Profile XP System Drive Rebuild CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
5. Press F10 to save and exit Setup. The Profile XP system will reboot from the
CD-ROM, starting a version of DOS. The Master LED on the DupliDisk II
Controller will still be green.
6. When the licensing agreement comes up for the installation software, press any key
(as prompted) to read though the several pages of the agreement.
CAUTION: This procedure destroys all data stored on the system drive. Perform
this procedure only if there is no other way to restore the system drive to operation.
7. At the Easy Restore window click on Continue and Yes after you read the warning
about everything on the drive being destroyed. The progress bars in the Easy
Restore window indicate how near the process is to completion.
8. When the process is complete and the Reboot dialog box appears, remove the CD
from the CD-ROM drive.
9. Click the reboot button and allow the Profile XP system to fully reboot.
10. Log on as administrator (password triton).
11. Reload the HOSTS file to the C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc directory.

the serial number of the Profile XP system.
