8000 Series Operating System Restore CDs
This is a two-disk set of compact discs (CDs) that contains the Windows operating
system (OS) and the drivers needed by the application software that runs on the
CSA8000, CSA8000B, TDS8000, and TDS8000B instruments.
The Windows OS and drivers are factory installed on the instrument’s hard drive.
This CD is a backup that you can use if you have to rebuild the hard drive or
restore the OS. Rebuilding the hard drive reinstalls the OS, along with its support
files and drivers.
CAUTION. When you restore the OS, all of the files on the hard drive are
deleted. You should only do this procedure if you want to completely
rebuild the hard drive, overwriting all of its existing contents. Be sure to
back up your data files and network setups before you restore the OS.
To avoid problems with the system, be sure that you only use the OS disks
supplied by Tektronix for use with your oscilloscope. The version of
Windows on this CD set is specially configured for the instrument; other
versions of Windows will not operate properly.
NOTE. If you can currently reboot from the hard drive and have an
emergency start up floppy, you may be able to restore the OS files from a
directory on your hard drive. See Chapter 1 of your instrument user
manual for more information.
