After installing a new/replacement hard drive the Operating System (OS) and APM software will need to be reinstalled from scratch or via Recovery image. The APM-3701 has a disaster recovery feature (software) installed on the hard drive . If this is a drive supplied by Lucidiom, then press F11 to begin the disaster recovery process. Please note that if you run this disaster recovery tool, all settings will be lost. Or if you install the Operating System from scratch, then you will also lose all setting including the disaster recovery partition. |
