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:
■
Back up your information regularly to protect your important
system files.
■
Make 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.
■
Create 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.
■
Recover a program or driver (PC Recovery software feature).
This feature helps you reinstall a program or driver without
performing a full system recovery.
■
Perform 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.
