24 - Hard Disk Crash Recovery
If you’ve used computers long enough, you may have experienced the disastrous situation of a
hard disk crash. A situation when the computer could not boot up at all and you lost all your data
on it. Computer viruses can cause a hard disk to die, as well as improper installation of a
software program such as computer games. And of course any hard disk is susceptible to
physical damage as well.
You should prepare for the worst case scenario. Nordson YESTECH’s machines are “imaged”
using the Disk Image Utility from PowerQuest Corporation before it leaves the factory. The
disk images are stored on the computer’s hard disk in a Backup partition. The disk image (*.pqi)
is split into 640 MB chunks to allow backup to CD-Rs. Copy those files to other media for safe
keeping.
There are two floppy disks labeled “Hard Disk Recovery” which are shipped with each system.
The floppy can be used to boot up the system and restore the hard disk data in an event of a hard
disk crash. This should be considered a last resort when other recovery methods have failed [e.g.
Windows XP’s recovery console]. The program on the floppy disk also allows you to make
backup disk images of the current state of the computer.
