Please run Windows Scandisk and Disk Defragmenter. And kill any existing viruses with anti-virus software.
- Why do I have to run Scandisk before installing Fixtar Card?
Before any installation, the HDD must be checked for errors. This is to ensure that all the original information, which Fixtar Card will use for restoration, are in good condition.
- Why is it recommended to defragment the HDD before installing Fixtar Card?
This is because Fixtar Card occupies the last sectors of your HDD. If there are any files occupying these sectors, it will be moved by defragmenting, otherwise it will be overwritten during installation.
- How does the card act when user forgets to defragment partitions before installation? What problems does it cause?
Fixtar Card card doesn't require defragmentation before installation, unless the hard disk had been used for long time without defragmentation.
- Which PCI expansion slot should I use?
Any free expansion slot will do.
- The Fixtar Card menu does not appear. What should I do?
In the BIOS/CMOS settings, disable virus warning and select NETWORK/LAN as the first boot device. For some older BIOS, enable "option ROM".
- How do I protect the BIOS/CMOS settings with Fixtar Card?
Enable "Protect CMOS data" function. But before you do this, execute "Backup CMOS data" first.
- After uninstalling Fixtar Card recovery card, the system alarm beeps when starting Windows NT/2000/XP, why?
It's because the driver for Windows2000/NT/XP was not unloaded after removing RecoveryCard. Please uninstall the driver in the Control Panel.
- I forgot the password! What can I do?
Password is for security purpose. There is no way to get it back if you forget it. In this case, you will have to remove the Fixtar Card physically, then execute password removal utility Sysclr.exe located in the driver disk under pure DOS environment, then re-install Fixtar Card. With Fixtar Card physically installed, Sysclr.exe can't operate. |
