Recovering your Hard Disk

To perform a full hard disk recovery, follow these steps:
1. Replace the malfunctioning hard disk with a new hard disk according to the hardware instructions.
2. Insert your Replica CD-ROM, or the updated CD-ROM you made in "Creating an Updated CD-ROM for Hard Disk Recovery", into
the CD-ROM drive as follows: Turn on the power to the computer long enough to open the CD-ROM drive and insert the Replica
CD¬ROM. Close the CD-ROM drive. Turn off the power to the computer.
3. Connect Replica to the computer USB port.
4. Turn on the power to your computer. The computer should start and boot from the Replica CD-ROM. If it does not, you may need to
make changes to the system BIOS to permit booting the computer from the CD-ROM. See the documentation for your computer for
detailed instructions on how to do this.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the recovery software. You must select a recovery point, which is typically the date of
the most recent backup. Replica restores your entire computer onto the new hard disk, exactly as it was at the selected backup time.
Caution: Do not interrupt the recovery process. It is likely to take several hours. Replica will prompt you when your system has
been recovered.
6. Once Replica has recovered your computer on the new hard drive, it engages to provide continuous backup of your computer.
