- It is HIGHLY recomended that you copy the TbUtil data file to a
- diskette. If your partition table gets damaged, you do not have
- access to your hard disks anymore, and you will need the data file!
-
- $
- The information stored in this data file matches the current status
- of the PC completely! There is no need to restore the system layout.
- $
- The information in the CMOS data area has been changed.
- You can restore it if you want.
- $
- The current partition table is NOT equal to the one stored into the
- TbUtil data file! It is recommended to restore it, except when you
- installed a new disk or changed your partition layout AFTER this
- TbUtil data file has been created.
- $
- The current bootsector is NOT equal to the one stored into the
- TbUtil data file! It is recommended to restore it, except when you
- replaced DOS AFTER this TbUtil data file has been created.
- $
- Warning: If the datafile was NOT created on this machine the wrong
- system configuration will be restored, making your PC inaccessable!
-
- Are you sure the TbUtil data file belongs to THIS PC? (Y/N)

-
- If the Thunderbyte add-on card or TbDisk is active, you will get a
- message which tells you that this program writes directly to disk.
- You have to answer 'N' (do NOT abort) to the Thunderbyte message.
-
- Press any key to continue...
-
- $
- TbUtil restored the CMOS data and/or partition table and/or
- bootsector of your hard disk!
- It is recommended to reboot the system now.
-
- $
-
- A new partition table has been created.
- Reboot the machine and test it.
- If the machine does not boot properly, you can restore the original
- partition table using the 'restore' option of TbUtil, or by using
- the DOS 5+ 'FDISK /MBR' command.
-
- If the new partition code works properly,
- you should backup it to a floppy using the TbUtil 'store' option.
-
- $
- Warning! You want to immunize and/or clean the partition code
- (master boot record) of your harddisk. TbUtil will create a new,
- clean and virus resistant master boot record. The new partition
- code will be fully compatible with the original one. However,
- it is recommended to store the original partition code on a
- diskette. You can do that with the command:
- TbUtil store a:tbutil.dat
-
- Continue? (Y/N)
-
- $
-
- An error occured! Probably the partition table contains invalid information.
- TbUtil will try to locate a copy of the original partition table, an old
- TbUtil.Dat file, or information left by the virus or third party software.
- The search process may take some time.
-
- Do you wish to continue? (Y/N)

- Searching...
- $
- Sorry... Could not find anything suitable to reconstruct the
- original partition table...
-
- $
- A valid partition table has been found!
- $
- CMOS and/or disk information saved!
- You can, might a disaster happen, restore the CMOS and/or disk information
- with the TbUtil restore command.
- $
- The TbUtil data file is created with another version of TbUtil!
-

-
- Mount a diskette to be immunized into the drive and press [Enter],
- or press [Escape] to quit...
- $
- Bootsector of the diskette has been immunized successfuly.
- If you attempt to boot from the diskette, the bootsector will check itself
- and allow you to boot from the harddisk without opening the drive door.
- $
- Can not read diskette!
- $
- Can not write to diskette! (Write protected?).
- $
- Can not read bootsector of specified drive!
- $
- Bootsector saved to TBUTIL.BOO.
