Recovery Information for Windows Vista
NEC Recovery Program (from backup partition)
Your computer is supplied with a backup partition on the hard disk drive which contains all the
data you may need in order to restore your configuration as it was when leaving the factory.
This partition occupies about 10 GB of your hard disk drive.
The NEC Recovery Program can restore your computer to the same state as when you
purchased it, while giving you an option to retain all settings and personal data for later
retrieval.
The procedure described below is only applicable if your backup data is stored on your
computer's hard disk. If you wish to restore your computer using Recovery DVD, please refer
to notes below.
NOTE
This backup partition is hidden.
CAUTION
Before using the NEC Recovery Program it is recommended that you FIRST try fixing
your computer with Windows Vista
System Restore can be used to restore your computer to a previous state when it was
known to function correctly, without affecting your personal data files (such as
documents, browsing history, drawings, favourites, or e-mails).
The NEC Recovery Program Allows Two Types of Recovery
• Full Recovery
Removes all your personal data and restores your computer to its original factory state. By
using this option, all your data will be lost (such as personal documents and settings and
driver updates)
• Partial Recovery
Restores your original operating system and software to their original factory state without
deleting your personal data.
CAUTION
After recovery, all software titles that you have installed on your computer must be
reinstalled before you can use them again. Only the pre-installed titles (such as DVD
Players and CD-writers) will function without additional installation.
