Creating your recovery point
You must first create a Windows® recovery point so that you will be able to recover and reinstall Windows® later if your system cannot correctly run Windows®.
If you do not create your own recovery point, it will not be possible to re-install Windows®. We suggest you do this as soon as possible.
Type in a descriptive name in the Create Description field (ex: "My Backup") and then click on Next. Be
2
patient as this will take several minutes. Exit the program.
Restoration Procedure
If for some reason your ARCHOS 9 cannot start Windows® or has severe problems that you cannot get rid of by normal means, then you may need to do a
complete system recovery. Any data files that were on the hard drive will be erased, including all files in My Documents.
To start a recovery procedure, make sure your computer is connected to the power cable and not running on battery power alone. Start the ARCHOS
1 9, and press the keyboard button
for only a short moment.
In the Security center screen, select System Restoration, and click on Start Rescue. Then, select a restoration point and click on Start Rescue. It will take
2
some time for the system to do the recovery procedure. Make sure your ARCHOS 9 is plugged in with the power cable during the entire procedure.
To access the BIOS, start the ARCHOS 9, and press the "A" button while the ARCHOS logo is displayed.
While creating your recovery point, make sure your ARCHOS 9 is connected to the power cable.
