400M01 Series User Manual

SuperRecovery

SuperRecovery is an easy-to-operate tool for backing up or recovering your hard
disk data. It offers simplified user interfaces with hotkey access and allows you
to experience unprecedented high security and reliability with extra functions,
such as hotkey launch, and powerful anti-virus protection.

Features:

1. Password Protection:

You can set a password for each HDD.

2. Data Protection:

Hidden partitions can only be accessed during data back up or recovery.  Even
reformatting the disk using FDISK or PQMAGIC will not allow access to the
disk. This means that data backed up in a hidden partition is very secure.

3. Intelligent Menu:

Unavailable items will be displayed in gray. For example, if you haven’t di
vided a hidden partition, items like “Release Hidden Partition”, “Back up” and
“Recovery” will be displayed in gray and can’t be selected. And, when you
select an item, the related information will appear on the bottom of the screen.

Disclaimer:

Please study this software program’s specification carefully before using it.
The vendor shall not be liable for any damages arising out of or in connection
with the use of this program, including liability for lost profit or data, or any
other damages whatsoever.

System Requirements:

1. ATA5 or above compliant IDE HDD;
2. FAT16, FAT32, NTFS files system;
3. PS/2 keyboard or USB keyboard.

You should enter the CMOS set up interface first by pressing <DEL> during
POST Power On Self Test). Then select the “SuperRecovery Hotkey” option to
adjust the hotkey settings in the “BIOS Features” menu.
There are 12 options: LSHIFT (Left Shift)+F1~F12. F12 is the default.

Hotkey Selection:
