After you have created the Rescue Disk set, you are prompted to test your disks. This requires that you restart your computer using the Rescue Disks.

If you created Rescue Disks on a network drive, a second physical hard disk, or some other large capacity disk drive, you will have to restart into DOS from an external floppy disk, navigate to the Rescue folder, and run Rescue.exe.

To test your Rescue Disks

  1. Close all open Windows programs.
  2. Insert the disk labeled Basic Rescue Boot Floppy Disk into drive A, then click Restart.
    If the Rescue Disk screen appears on your monitor, the Rescue Disk works properly.
    If the Rescue Disk screen does not appear, you have several options for correcting the problem.
  3. Press Escape to exit to DOS.
  4. Remove the disk from drive A and slide open the plastic tab on the back of the disk to write-protect it.
  5. Restart your computer.
