Recover from a Disaster Using the Bootable Disk Method (Windows 2000)

To perform disaster recovery using the bootable disk method, perform the following steps:

1. Start the computer you want to recover, using the Windows 2000 Setup Boot Disk 1 created in Bootable Disk Method.

   To install additional SCSI drivers, press F6 when prompted at the bottom of the Windows Setup dialog.

2. When prompted, insert the disks labeled Windows 2000 Setup Disk 2, Windows 2000 Setup Disk 3, and Windows 2000 Setup Disk 4.
3. When prompted, insert the Windows 2000 CD. Setup copies Windows 2000 files to your hard disk.

   If you pressed F6 in step 1, select S to specify additional drivers when prompted.

4. Choose the first hard drive partition (typically C) to install the temporary operating system necessary to perform disaster recovery.
5. When prompted, insert the Windows 2000 CD.
6. When prompted, insert the CA ARCserve Backup CD.
7. When prompted, insert the Windows 2000 CD again. Setup copies Windows 2000 files to your hard disk.
8. When you receive the message that Setup has completed successfully, remove all disks and CDs, and press Enter to restart your computer. The computer reboots and the Disaster Recovery Wizard opens.
