On the disk you can also find the PTS DOS safe mode, which may help in a number of non-standard situations such as interfering hardware settings or serious problems on the hardware level. In this case, only basic files and drivers (such as hard disk drivers, a monitor driver, and a keyboard driver) will be loaded.</p> <h3>Startup Procedure</h3> <p>To start working with the Linux/DOS Recovery CD, please take the following steps: </p> <p> </p> <ol start="1" type="1" class="whs1"> <li class=kadov-p><p>Insert the Linux/DOS Recovery CD into a CD/DVD drive;</p></li> <li class=kadov-p><p>Reboot the computer;</p></li> <li class=kadov-p><p>Launch a boot mode you need (<b>Normal, Safe, Low-Graphics Safe</b><span>) in the </span><a href="#_Boot_Menu">Boot menu</a><span>.</span></p></li> </ol> <p> </p> <table class=NormalTable x-use-null-cells style="border: none; x-border-left: 1px table-solid; x-border-top: 1px table-solid; x-border-right: 1px table-solid; x-border-bottom: 1px table-solid; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; background-color: #33cccc; border-spacing: 0px;" cellspacing=0 bgcolor=#33CCCC> <tr> <td width="44.6pt" class="whs2"> <p align="center" class="whs3"><b style="font-weight: bold;"><img src="db9_help_en060608Per_web.files/image002.png" width="45px" height="45px" border="0" class="img_whs4"></b></td> <td width="489.6pt" class="whs5"> <p><b style="font-weight: bold;">By default the <i>Normal Mode</i> will be automatically initiated after a 10 second idle period.</b></td></tr> </table> <p> </p> <ol start="4" type="1" class="whs1"> <li class=kadov-p><p>Click on the required operation to start.
