NEC PowerMate VT 300i Series Release Notes A-7
Using the NEC OS Restore CD with a SCSI Drive
If a situation arises in which a full operating system restore must be performed
using the NEC OS Restore CD, first boot the system from the bootable diskette.
(This might be necessary, for example, if the system does not boot from the hard
drive.) The bootable diskette comes with all systems that have a SCSI hard
drive. After the system boots, proceed with the NEC OS Restore procedure.
LS-120 SuperDisk Copy Utility
Using the LS-120 SuperDisk™ Copy utility on 1.44-MB or 120-MB media
intermittently causes system lockups and diskette eject failures. This condition
only occurs when you use the SuperDisk Copy utility supplied with the
SuperDisk Tools diskette shipped with the system.
To safely copy a 1.44-MB diskette, NEC CSD recommends using the standard
Microsoft
®
Disk Copy program supplied with the Microsoft Windows
®
operating system. You can find the Microsoft Disk Copy program by double
clicking
My Computer
and right clicking the
LS-120
icon. The context menu
displays Copy Disk as one of the available items. Using this Copy Disk program
allows the LS-120 SuperDisk drive to copy 1.44-MB diskettes without system
lockups and allows the drive to eject the 1.44-MB diskette. However, this utility
does not copy 120-MB media.
If you need to duplicate 120-MB media, you must use the SuperDisk Copy
utility. To avoid data loss, make sure you save all data and close all applications
before you attempt to copy 120-MB diskettes with the SuperDisk Copy utility.
To recover from a diskette eject failure or a system lockup after completing the
SuperDisk Copy, restart the system by pressing the power button to turn off the
system. Then press the power button again to turn on system power.
LS-120 SuperDisk Copy issues are currently under investigation and will be
fixed in the next version of the SuperDisk Utilities. Please check the NEC CSD
website below for updates.
