RECOVERY INFORMATION
====================

1. How to reset the recovery process
------------------------------------
   The recovery process maintains a log of each step during preload
   restoration. In the event of process interruption (power off, re-BOOT)
   before completion, the log must be reset. Failure to reset the log will
   cause the process to attempt to continue from the last completed step
   and unpredictable results will occur. To reset the log, first exit to DOS
   (BOOT the recovery diskette and press F5 at the "IBM ThinkPad" logo) and
   then type RESETC <Enter> at the DOS command prompt.

2. Recovery limitations
-----------------------
          WARNING: BACKUP ALL VITIAL DATA BEFORE CONTINUING!

  All data on the hard drive will be destroyed if "Factory Default Partitioning
  and Format All Drives" is chosen. All data only on the C: drive will be
  destroyed if "Use Existing Partitioning and Format C: Drive Only" is chosen.
  The recovery process is designed to restore to one (1) hard drive only.
  Ensure the hard drive to be recovered is located in the ThinkPad and not
  attached to the Ultrabay or a Docking station. The data on all other hard
  drives risk data corruption or loss if this condition is not met.
