Recovering System Information
Tools provided by the operating system and PC Recovery
software are designed to help you with the following tasks for
safeguarding your information and restoring it in case of a
system failure:
■ Backing up your information regularly to protect your
important system files.
■ Making a set of recovery discs (PC Recovery software
feature). Recovery discs are used to start up (boot) your
computer and restore the operating system and software
programs to factory settings in case of system failure or
instability.
■ Creating system restore points (operating system feature).
System restore points allow you to reverse undesirable
changes to your computer by restoring the computer to an
earlier state.
■ Recovering a program or driver (PC Recovery software
feature). This feature helps you reinstall a program or driver
without performing a full system recovery.
■ Performing a full system recovery (PC Recovery software
feature). With PC Recovery, you can recover your full
factory image if you experience system failure or instability.
PC Recovery works from a dedicated recovery partition on
the hard drive or from recovery discs you create.
