- RECOVERING YOUR PREINSTALLED SOFTWARE
-
- ATTENTION: All data in the reformatted partitions on the hard drive
- will be deleted. Be sure that you have backed up all of your data
- before running this program. After you have recovered your hard
- drive, you may need to reinstall your application programs.
-
- 1. Start the Recovery Process.
-
- a. Make sure the PC is powered off.
- b. Insert the Recovery diskette into drive A.
- c. Power on the PC. The program will start automatically.
-
- 2. Select the Configuration for Your Recovery Process.
-
- a. Let the Recovery program find your internal CD-ROM Drive.
-
- Your CD-ROM drive must be functional and recognized by your PC
- in order for this process to work. The Recovery program will
- attempt to find your CD-ROM drivers on your hard disk (for
- example, IBMCDROM.SYS or IBMTPCD.SYS). Selecting this option
- will not activate drivers associated with parallel ports or
- SCSI chains.
-
- If the Recovery program cannot detect your CD-ROM drive, press
- any key to continue. Go to Step 2b.
-
- b. Select your CD-ROM drive from a list.
-
- From this menu you can select to reinstall the software from
- multiple CD-ROM drive configurations. Check your hardware's
- documentation if you are not absolutely sure of your
- configuration. Select how you want to restore your
- preinstalled software. You can select:
-
- 1) IBM DOCK I.
-
- 2) IBM DOCK II using DOCK I SCSI CD-ROM drive.
-
- 3) IBM DOCK II using (IBM) ISA CD-ROM drive.
-
- 4) IBM DOCK II using (IBM) IDE CD-ROM drive.
-
- 5) 760CD/755CD/760LD/365CD (Replace internal diskette drive
- with CD-ROM drive).
- During the installation process you will be prompted to
- replace your diskette drive with your CD-ROM drive. (DO
- NOT TURN POWER OFF). Place the Recovery CD-ROM in the
- drive. Then, at the current prompt type LOAD.
-
- 6) Host to ThinkPad via parallel cable (INTERLNK).
-
- 7) IBM SUPPLIED PARALLEL PORT CD-ROM drive. Connect the
- parallel cable port to the ThinkPad and to the Parallel IN
- port of of the CD-ROM drive supplied by IBM. Attach the
- power adapter to the CD-ROM drive and plug into an outlet.
- (US only)

- Before you can recover the preinstalled software, the hard drive
- partition that contains the operating system must be formatted.
- This program will reformat the entire hard drive, or format only
- the drive C partition (if you have previously partitioned your
- hard drive).
-
- ATTENTION: All data in the reformatted partitions on the hard
- drive will be deleted. Be sure that you have backed up all of
- your data before running this program. After you have recovered
- your hard drive, you may need to reinstall your application
- programs.
-
- Select the appropriate choice.
-
- a. Format the entire hard drive and recover the preinstalled
- software.

- displayed when the recovery process is completed.
-
- If you are performing the recovery process using INTERLNK,
- pressing C will continue the formatting and also verify the
- connection of the INTERLNK cable between the host computer and the
- target computer. If the connection is good, the blue INTERLNK
- screen will appear on the target computer with the drive letters
- assigned. Continue with Step 4a.
-
- a. Recover the Software Using INTERLNK.
-
- Before continuing, ensure the CD-ROM drive in the host
- computer is working, and the INTERLNK cable is properly
- connected to the parallel ports of the target and host
- computers. If your host computer has DOS or DOS with Windows
- 3.1 installed, go to Step 4b. If your host computer has
- Windows 95 installed, go to Step 4c.
-
- b. Recover Using a Host Computer with DOS or DOS with Windows
- 3.1.

- complete successfully. When you have exited from
- INTERLNK, some batch files will be executed.
-
- c. Recover Using a Host Computer with Windows 95.
-
- To recover your preinstalled software from a host computer
- using Windows 95:
-
- 1) Be sure the blue INTERLNK screen is on the target
