Caution

Defragmenting a hard disk destroys all of the authorizations saved on the disk.

Therefore, transfer all authorizations for installed SIMATIC software on the disk to

another medium such as a floppy disk. For additional information, refer to the

documentation of the SIMATIC software.

10. Save the hard disk data to a CD.

Note

To verify that the data on the CD is in order, transfer the data on the CD back to an

empty hard disk and quickly test the device by switching it on.

11.2.2 Supplied software CDs

In case of software errors you can reinstall your software by means of the Recovery CD, the

Documentation and Drivers CD or the Restore CD.

Recovery CD:

Contains the tools for setting up the hard disk drives and the operating system.

Documentation and Drivers CD:

Contains the documentation and the hardware drivers.

Restore CD:

Contains a hard disk image file with the original software (operating system with installed

hardware drivers).

11.2.3 Partitioning under Windows 2000/XP Professional

After you have installed a new hard disk drive, or if partitions are faulty, or when you wish to

change the partitioning on your hard disk, you need to set up new partitions on the hard disk.

Caution

When you delete or create partitions or logical DOS partitions, you lose all data on the hard

disk. All partitions on the hard disk will be deleted.

Factory setup of the hard disk with Windows 2000 and Windows XP:

• One partition with a FAT16 file system

• One partition with a NTFS file system

To restore the partition to its factory state, proceed as follows:
