Note: We cannot, however, guarantee that no data will be lost.

Partition management is an inherently risky business. Always back up

any and all existing data on the computer, before working with disk

partitions: whether through LVM, FDISK, Partition Magic, or any other

means.

The situation alters, however, if the system contains any "LVM

volumes". Unlike compatibility volumes (which are fundamentally normal

partitions), LVM volumes depend on a special data format which other

partition management software (like FDISK or Partition Magic) does not

recognize. In such a case, the volume information could be corrupted

beyond recovery, resulting in the loss of all data stored on the LVM

volume.

Therefore, if you believe you will have cause to use third-party

partition management software on your system, avoid using LVM

volumes. (As noted, you are discouraged from using such software at

all.)

Always back up all data on the system, before working with

partitions or volumes.

Appendix D: Preboot Menu

The eComStation Boot Options Menu screen allows you to configure

the system to work with the hardware on your workstation. Most

computers will not require any changes in this screen in order to be able

to boot normally. However, if you have trouble getting the CD to boot,

then you can use the options on the Boot CD Device Selection screen

to configure eComStation so that it will be able to boot on your

computer.

The Boot Options Menu looks like this:

Each area on the screen will be described in detail in the following

sections. In general, if you do not understand what you see on this

screen, the best thing to try is to simply hit «Enter», boot the computer,

and see if it works. Most of the time, it will. If it does not, or if you wish to

change some of the defaults about how the system looks and acts when

you boot from the CD, you can make selections in this screen to try and

get the system to boot from the CD or to change things about how the

system behaves after you have booted.
