Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

The ERD does not restore applications or device drivers. Instead, it holds

copies of the user environment, software associations, passwords, and

information about the system configuration.

The ERD is not a replacement for regular backups. It provides enough

recovery to restore a system to a bootable state only.

To create an ERD:

1. Turn on the system and log in to an account with administrative

privileges.

2. Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point

to System Tools, and then select Backup.

The Backup window opens.

3. Click the Emergency Repair Disk icon.

A dialog box appears.

4. Select the “Also backup the registry to the repair directory” option.

5. Insert a blank, formatted floppy disk into drive A.

6. Click OK.

7. When the process is complete, click OK

8. Remove the floppy disk, label it, date it, and store it in a safe, dry,

static-free location.

Testing the System

Two diagnostic programs are installed on the system when the NewsCutter

application software is installed. Avid System Test Pro tests the Meridien

digital media board set in the NewsCutter system and the attached

Meridien I/O box. Avid Storage Manager runs low-level diagnostics on

drives attached to the system.
