Creating an emergency recovery-repair diskette in Windows

Diagnostics diskette, and store them in a safe place. In the unlikely event that the
computer becomes unusable, you can use the recovery-repair diskette to access
the Product Recovery program.

or from the Product Recovery program partition.
To create a recovery-repair diskette from the c:\ibmtools directory, complete the
following steps:
1. Start the computer and operating system.
and then follow the instructions. If you do not have access to the Internet, you
can use the registration program that starts through the IBM Registration folder to
print the registration information and provide IBM with a mailing address for
future technical assistance.
To enable a USB diskette drive to work, you must disable the legacy diskette
drive function in the Configuration/Setup Utility program (click Start Options
→ Disable Legacy Diskette A).
