Continuing the previous content, when using IBM Product Recovery program version 5.3, the initial prompt of the recovery program is to install the recovery program itself, that is, a Reinstall setting

Start the FDISK program and check the hard disk partition.
You can see two partitions. The second primary partition is activated, assigned C: drive letter , and the file system is FAT32
. Switch the partition tool, and PartitionMagic shows that the first partition is a hidden FAT32 primary partition. This should be where IBM provides service programs.
