Creating a Backup of Bootab le Disk and Recovery Image
When you purchased you r new system, a copy of the recovery image was loaded into a
hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the recovery image available to
you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it and re-install
the essential access softwar e using Fujitsu Software Auto In staller.
