16. Performing Disaster Recovery for Windows NT 4.0 Without
Disaster Recovery Diskettes
Some PC system manufacturers ship versions of the Windows NT 4.0 CD that contain
limitations affecting the Disaster Recovery feature of HP Simple Backup. If, while
creating Disaster Recovery diskettes, HP Simple Backup detects that your Windows
CD cannot be used to create Disaster Recovery diskettes, you must follow the steps
listed below to recover your data:
HP Simple Backup can protect the data on your NT Workstation in the event of a hard
drive failure. The Disaster Recovery process allows you to recover lost data and
return your system to full operation.
You may choose to back up the NT Workstation Registry by selecting it in the Options
settings under the Advanced tab. By default, HP Simple Backup will back up the
registry when the Windows Directory is selected for backup. The NT Workstation
Registry must be backed up in order to properly restore your system in the event of a
hard drive failure.
