About ensuring the recovery of your computer
If Windows fails to start or it does not run normally, you can recover your computer
by using the Symantec Recovery Disk CD. The drivers that are included on the
recovery disk must match the drivers that are required to run your computer's
network cards and hard disks.
To help ensure that you have the drivers that you need to recover your computer,
you can use the Run Driver Validation tool available on the Symantec Recovery
Disk. The driver validation tool compares hardware drivers on the Symantec
Recovery Disk CD with the drivers that are required to run your computer's
network cards and hard disks.
You should run the driver validation test any time you make changes to the
network interface cards or storage controllers on a computer.
See “If driver validation fails” on page 28.
Note: The driver validation tool or Symantec Recovery Disk does not support
wireless network adapter drivers.
