AO-70185 REV EA BURNY SERIES 10 OPTION: EMERGENCY DISK RESTORE 1 EMERGENCY DISK RESTORE 1.1 INTRODUCTION The Emergency Disk Restore (E-Disk) Option is the best way to get a corrupted Burny hard drive running again. This procedure will work in most cases with the only exception being a mechanical failure of the hard drive. Creating an E-Disk when the Burny is first installed is the best way to avoid lost time when a problem occurs. Before attempting this procedure, contact Cleveland Motion Controls to obtain a valid registration password. Two formatted 1.44 MB floppy disks are also required; one for the E-Disk and one for important INI files. 1.2 OBTAIN THE NECESSARY FILES 1.2.1 IF THE BURNY S DISK DRIVES ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE: Contact Cleveland Motion Controls to obtain the required file by email or website download. Execute this selfextracting compressed file and save its contents to your PC hard drive. Two files will be extracted; these instructions in PDF format and a file named Edisk.exe. Insert a formatted 1.44 MB floppy disk into your PC s floppy drive. 1.2.2 IF THE BURNY S DISK DRIVES ARE ACCESSIBLE: On the Burny control, navigate to D:\burny\Support\Edisk and locate the Edisk.exe file. Insert a formatted 1.44 MB floppy disk into the Burny s floppy drive. 1.3 CREATING AN E-DISK After inserting a formatted 1.44 MB floppy disk in the previous step, execute the Edisk.exe file. The screen below will appear. Figure 1 Click OK to create the E-Disk. If your floppy disk is not empty, a screen prompt will give you the option to erase the disk. Wait until the WinImage program indicates that it is finished before removing the disk from the floppy drive. It s a good idea to save the Edisk.exe file to a safe place such as a PC hard drive or network location for future reference. Long-term storage on floppy disk isn t always reliable. PAGE 3 OF 6

BURNY SERIES 10 OPTION: EMERGENCY DISK RESTORE AO-70185 REV EA 1.4 BACKUP IMPORTANT FILES Before restoring the hard drive, you must backup your INI files. These files are unique to your machine setup and should, therefore, be backed up after the system is initially installed and NOT after a problem with the machine occurs. In some cases, the Burny may not be accessible when a problem occurs so the operator should be prepared for this in advance. To backup the Burny INI files: From the Main Menu, press Util. Enable the administrator s password by pressing the Enable Password button. Enter the correct password and press OK. From the Main Menu, press Store. Press Floppy Disk. Insert a formatted 1.44 MB floppy disk. Press Options. Select System Backup as the File Type. Press OK. Press OK to backup the files. This process gathers several files into a single compressed file, which should be stored in a safe place such as a PC hard drive or network location for future reference. Long-term storage on floppy disk isn t always reliable. 1.5 RESTORE THE HARD DRIVE To start the hard drive restoration, insert the E-Disk floppy into the Burny s floppy drive and reboot the control. The Burny will boot into a restore mode. If the floppy does not boot, the BIOS may be set to boot from the hard drive first. To change this, enter the BIOS by pressing the DELETE key on boot. Find the first boot device in the BIOS. Set the first boot device to Floppy and the second boot device to HDD-0. Be sure to set this back when the restore is complete. The restoration is started when you see the script pictured below. It will take some time to load the application. When Figure 2 appears, click CONTINUE to start the recovery process or click CANCEL to abort. Figure 2 A warning message will appear stating that all data will be destroyed. Click YES to continue. Before the restoration begins, you will be asked for a password. Contact Cleveland Motion Controls with the Burny s serial number to obtain this information. Keeping record of this password will save time during future restorations. NOTE: A unique password is required for each and every Burny control. PAGE 4 OF 6

Figure 3 Depending on the size of the hard drive installed in the Burny, you may be issued a warning for each partition on the hard drive. The warning states that the partition may not be bootable. Click YES to continue the restoration. Once A:\> appears, remove the floppy disk and reboot the Burny. 1.6 RESTORE IMPORTANT FILES To restore the Burny INI files: From the Main Menu, press Util. Enable the administrator s password by pressing the Enable Password button. Enter the correct password and press OK. From the Main Menu, press Load. Press Floppy Disk. Insert the Burny INI floppy disk previously created. Press Options. Select System Backup as the File Type. Press OK. Press OK to restore the files. Once this process is complete the Burny will reboot automatically. PAGE 5 OF 6
