Norton Rescue Disk 15.0 for Windows 98, 98 SE, and Millennium
Release Notes - 07/27/01
Copyright (c) 2001 Symantec Corporation
All rights reserved

Please read this document carefully; it contains important
information about Norton Rescue Disk.

===========
Rescue Disk is designed for the Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows
Millennium.  Rescue Disk will not install or function on Windows NT,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
===========
The Rescue Disk utility requires a 3.5" floppy disk drive.  Rescue Disk
requires up to seven 1.44MB 3.5" floppy diskettes.  720K disks and
5.25" diskettes are not supported.  2.88MB and 120MB LS-120 floppy 
drives may be used to create Rescue Disks, but only using 1.44MB floppy
diskettes. Rescue Disk does not detect USB drives.
===========
If you create a Rescue Set on the hard drive, you will need to remove
a command-line parameter while in the Rescue Shell.  When you launch
the Rescue Shell from the hard drive, you will see this command:

NAVDX.EXE C: /L /DOALLFILES /ZIPS/REPAIR /CFG:A

Because you created the Rescue Set on the hard drive, you need to
remove the "A" switch, otherwise Rescue will try to look for
its configuration information (and VirusDefs) from a floppy.  So,
the command-line prompt should look like this:

NAVDX.EXE C: /L /DOALLFILES /ZIPS/REPAIR /CFG:

This will instruct Rescue to look in the current directory (where you
created the Rescue set).  If you remove the "/CFG:A" switch entirely,
Rescue will default to looking in the drive where you installed Rescue.
===========
Basic Rescue Disk recovery must be run from DOS.  Rescue Disk
does not support running the Basic Rescue Disk recovery
utility from a DOS window inside Windows.
===========
The DOS Rescue Disk utility in Basic Rescue mentions that it has the 
capability to restore the CMOS information of the machine.  This is 
incorrect.  The CMOS restore feature was removed.
===========
Rescue Disk sets will not boot properly or repair hard disks that 
require a Dynamic Drive Overlay (DDO).  Dynamic Drive Overlay refers to
a particular type of drive translation software.  Brand names such as 
Ontrack Disk Manager, MaxBlast, EZ-Drive, or BootMagic basically
perform the same function as Dynamic Drive Overlays.  If the
computer uses a DDO, it must be loaded each time the system
is started.  Your DDO software includes either a bootable
floppy disk that has the necessary files, or it includes
instructions for how to create a bootable floppy disk that
you can use to start your system before running programs from
the Rescue Disk set.
===========
If you have GoBack installed and it is enabled, do not use the
Rescue Recovery Wizard to restore your partition tables.  Doing
so will cause GoBack to be disabled the next time you restart your
machine.
===========
If Rescue Disk freezes while you are creating Rescue Disks,
format the disk in Windows and run Rescue Disk again.
===========
Creating a Rescue Disk set requires that you restart your
system using the Rescue Disk set, in order to complete the
set creation.  Restarting your system after an update is
optional, but is highly recommended.
===========
We strongly recommend shutting down any applications running
in the background before creating a Rescue Disk set.
===========
Disk Manager partitions are not compatible with Rescue Disk.
===========
Rescue Disk does not support Rescue Disk sets created by
previous versions Rescue Disk. Please make and test a new
Rescue Disk set.
===========
Rescue Disks require the following Norton Utilities and
Norton Anti-Virus components to be complete:

   For a Basic Rescue Disk set:
   - Norton Utilities DOS applications
   - Norton Anti-Virus

If you do not have these components, some features of
the Rescue Disks will not be available.
===========
Rescue Disk disks are closely tied to the operating system.
If you are not using a full release version of Windows 98,
Windows 98SE, or Windows Millennium, Rescue Disk may not have full 
functionality.
===========
Rescue Disk does not support compressed disks.
===========
You cannot save Rescue Disk items to the root of any hard
disk. The root typically contains important data that
could be overwritten.
===========
Some customers have reported problems with Rescue Disk not
functioning correctly when running in conjunction with
MagnaRAM or QEMM97. If Rescue crashes on your system, try
disabling the MagnaRAM option to see if it clears up the
problem. 
===========
Please see trouble.txt in the Rescue Disk folder for more
information regarding problems creating Rescue sets and/or 
problems booting from Rescue sets.
