Clean a Master System and Restore the Operating System

If you have already run your Autodesk product on the master computer, the master computer should be properly cleaned before creating a master image.

To clean a master computer and restore the operating system

1. Clean the hard drive, including the boot sector.

   For example, if you use GDISK utility from Norton, use the following command:

   gdisk 1 /diskwipe

   Where 1 is the hard disk that is being wiped.

   Note: If you use a utility other than Norton Ghost, make sure that it cleans the boot sector; otherwise, you will not be able to activate Autodesk products.
2. Create a new partition and use the restore disc or product media to install the operating system.
