You can run the Recover My Computer wizard from the Symantec Recovery Disk
to restore a computer that has multiple drives. This type of restore operation uses
a system index file (.sv2i) to reduce the amount of time that is needed to restore
the drives. When a recovery point is created, a system index file is saved with it.
Restores the master boot record. The master boot
record is contained in the first sector of a physical hard
disk. The MBR consists of a master boot program and
a partition table that describes the disk partitions. The
master boot program looks at the partition table of the
first physical hard disk to see which primary partition
is active. It then starts the boot program from the boot
sector of the active partition.
This option is recommended only for advanced users
and is available only if you restore a whole drive in the
recovery environment.
Select this option if any of the following situations are
true:
You are restoring a recovery point to a new, blank
hard disk.
You are restoring a recovery point to the original
drive, but the drive's partitions were modified since
the recovery point was created.
You suspect that a virus or some other problem has
corrupted your drive's master boot record.
Preserves the token that is used to authenticate a user
or a computer on a domain. This option helps ensure
that a recovered computer is recognized by a network
domain after it is recovered.
