DA-682A-DPP Windows Software System Recovery

5-4

Step 2 (optional): Restoring the System to the

Stock OS

The instructions which follow describe how to set up the recovery environment that will restore the operating

system to a pristine post-install state. If you have installed any software on your system, then following

these directions will result in all custom applications and code being wiped from the operating system.

If the computer has already been heavily customized with user applications and local scripts, then skip this

section and instead go to the next section, Error! Reference source not found.. There, you will begin the

process of copying over a full system image.

Creating a post-install rescue drive involves just two steps: preparing the USB drive, and then copying the

rescue image (found on your Moxa software CD) to it.

1. Prepare a USB drive.

2. Copy the stock OS image from the software DVD to the USB drive. The image is available in the

#:\<SoftwareDVD>\recovery\DA-682A-DPP\ directory and should be copied to the partition image

directory,

#:\home\partimag\ on the USB drive.

That’s it. You have now configured a USB recovery key that will restore your computer to the stock

operating system it was shipped with. You can test this by doing a trial recovery process on your computer.

To do this, continue on to Step 3: Setting Up the BIOS to Boot Via the USB, skip step 4, and then go on

to Step 5: Performing a Trial Recovery.
