FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
When do I have to activate Windows?
Your software has been preactivated in the factory. An activation
will only be required, if ...
... several components are replaced by others.
... you install a new motherboard.
... a different BIOS version has been installed.
... you install the software to another computer.
What is the Windows activation?
Your operating instructions include a chapter about this subject.
How do I perform a data backup?
Make a backup and another backup of selected data to an external
medium (CD-R), to familiarise yourself with the technique.
A backup is unsuitable if you are not able to recover the data, the
medium (CD-R, CD-RW) is defective or no longer available.
Do I still have to install the enclosed CDs/DVDs?
No. Basically all programs are already preinstalled. The disks are
only intended as backup copies.
When is the recovery of the factory setting recommended?
This method should be chosen as the last resort. Read chapter
"System Restore" on page 48 concerning the alternatives possi-
ble.
Why is the boot partition missing when booting from the support/
application CD?
The first partition is formatted with the file system NTFS. Com-
pared to FAT32 this file system offers more security and a more
efficient access. However, NTFS partitions can only be read from
operating systems supporting this. This is not the case in the
aforementioned CD.
