Drive-C Recovery
This hard disk drive recovery re-images the drive-C partition, only. Because the factory backup image resides on the hard disk, no external media is required to recover drive C. After the recovery process is complete, the DCA firmware is set to the version installed when the factory image was created. If needed, you can upgrade the instrument software.
When performing this recovery procedure, all application license files and user files (including data files) are left unchanged. However, in case of a problem, you may want to make a backup of your data before you begin. After the procedure completes, the Windows Setup Wizard will automatically run.
