Here's the steps for  changing your hard drive and restoring the data

 

1.      Go to 'Welcome to JCON>' and type 'software'  <enter> . This will tell you whether you are on level 40 or level 50 software. Compare it to the software version listed on the paper packed with the replacement drive. They should be the same. 

2.      Make a data-only backup from your current hard drive

3.      Shut the system down with Option 8.16. Power off when safe to do so.

4.      Using the keys on the back of the main cabinet, remove the old Hard drive.   Insert the new one and boot the system up.

5.      Once at the OPTION menu, 'end' to 'Welcome to J-CON'.

6.      Type 'software'  <enter>. Compare this software level to the original (step 1).  The last 2 decimal places don't matter if the basic level (40.01.xx or 50.01.xx) is the same.   If they ARE the same level, you can proceed using your DATA-ONLY backup from step 2.    If they are NOT the same, you must use a FULL-DISK backup.   You may have to re-install the original disk to accomplish this before going to step 7

7.      From the 'Welcome to J-CON>' prompt, type 'restore.system' <enter>.  This starts a 'script' which automates the restoration process.

8.        Change tapes and reboot when instructed by the script.

9.        Reload your CDs when prompted, or you can load them afterwards
