The Recovery DVD is intended to install the factory Blonde Guy eComStation configuration on the specified laptop. The installation is fairly simple, but the user should be comfortable with creating volumes with the LVM program. The factory configuration has the four volumes listed in the table below.
| Volume Name | Disk Format | Drive Letter | Minimum Volume Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boot Manager | - | - | 7 MB |
| eComStation | JFS | C: | 2,000 MB |
| Data | JFS | D: | whatever is left |
| Maintenance | JFS | E: | 2,000 MB |
| Programs | JFS | F: | 6,000 MB |
To install the system using the Recovery DVD, the computer is booted to the DVD, and the LVM program is used to create the disk volumes and install boot manager. All of the volumes must be formatted JFS. The recovery DVD has a zip archive for each volume. After each archive is unzipped to the corresponding volume, the computer is restored.
