Page 45: Recoveryeasy
Introduction: RecoveryEasy , the latest QDI innovation, is able to protect the system f rom being destroyed, by creating a so-called “mirror partition” for a current hard disk partition and backuping all the data to the mirror area. This ideal utility provides disk partition, disk data backup/recovery, CMOS settings backup/recovery and multi-boot functions. - Page 46 RecoveryEasy b. If choosing to install RecoveryEas y on an absolutely clear disk, the utility w ill delete all the previous partitions. c. The passw ord is set as default setting “qdiqdi” after installing RecoveryEasy. 1.1 CREATE PAR Function : Creates a new partition. Lim itation : When no disk space remains or 4 partitions already exist, this button is disabled.
- Page 47 WinneX 3E 1.3 ACTIVE PAR Function : Implements multi-boot function by activating one of the partitions. Lim itation : When no partition exists, this button is disabled. Steps : If there’re tw o or more partitions, choose one of them by pressing F5 key.
- Page 48 RecoveryEasy a. When tw o or more than tw o hard disks are installed on the system, use F5 key to choose the hard disk. Every time users us e F5 key to sw itch the hard disk, the operation result for the previous hard disk is saved. When processing a certain hard disk, F5 key can be us ed to choos e the partition.
- Page 49 WinneX 3E Note: a. During the process of partition backup or recovery, a guage w ill be show n as below, the backup or recovery speed is about 4-5Mbyte/s. See figure-4. figure- 4 Backup Par tition b. If a disk I/O error occurs during the process of partition backup or recovery, this means there’s physical damage on the hard disk, how ever users can ignore it and continue the process.

To delete the passw ord, follow the system prompt and press the “Enter”... - Page 51 WinneX 3E Are there any hard disk lim itations of RecoveryEasy? RecoveryEasy supports all kinds of current IDE hard disks and has no limita- tion on the hard disk capacity. RecoveryEasy can not provide its function for some special hard disk types such as SCSI, but it w ill not affect their usage. Are there any OS lim itations of RecoveryEasy? RecoveryEasy supports current operating systems such as DOS, Window s 95/98.
- Page 52 RecoveryEasy before converting can avoid this problem. It’s the same situation as “FAT32 Converter” provi d ed in Window s98. What if partitions be w rongly deleted in RecoveryEasy? If users delete a partition in RecoveryEasy by mistake, they can save it by pressing the Reset button on their system at once.
