Managing Your Backup Images
With the MyRecovery tool you can also make copies of backup images, archive them on DVD, or delete them
from your hard drive.

To begin, click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop.

Click the [Manage/Create] button in the MyRecovery window.

In the next window, a list of your backup images appears. Below the list are three buttons allowing you to
[Make DVD], [Copy], or [Delete] your backup images.
5.
Select an image title from the list, then click the action button you would like to perform.

Note that you need to have an external disk drive connected for the [Copy] button to be enabled. If you
elect to copy the image, you will be prompted to enter the destination. If you are ready to copy, click [OK]
to proceed. A progress screen appears while the backup copy is being made.

Note that if you copy an image to an external hard drive, both the original and the copy will appear in the
[Backup Images] window with identical names, dates, and file sizes, but with the different drive letter to
distinguish them. Before you select [Make DVD], make sure you have a recordable DVD drive con-
nected and blank DVDs available.

tion Restore Disc”. Insert a new disc and click [Yes] for DAR disc creation.

Using the Recovery and Utility Tools
The Recovery and Utility tools consist of a variety of tools that will help you recover your Factory Image,
recover system images, and delete the data from your hard disk.
Methods for accessing the utilities
Recovery and Utility Tools are preinstalled in a hidden partition by the factory, or they can be accessed by
using the bootable DAR disc. Please note that you can delete Recovery and Utility tools from your hard disk
drive if you modify the partitions. In this case you will not be able to use the hidden partition for booting to
Recovery and Utility Tools, but you will still be able to boot from the DAR disc.
Determining whether Recovery and Utility is pre-loaded
1.
Turn on or reboot your system. When the Fujitsu logo appears, press [F12] key.
2.
From the Boot Menu that appears, check whether the <Recovery and Utility> option is present. If it is not
present, it means that the utility must be used from the disc. Proceed to “Running Recovery and Utility
from the Bootable Disc” if <Recovery and Utility> is unavailable.
3.
You can also use the SecureCore menu to determine whether the utility is pre-loaded by powering on
your system then pressing the [Enter] key when the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. The
SecureCore Menu will appear and the Recovery and Utility option will appear in the menu.
Running Recovery and Utility from hard disk
1.
Turn on or reboot your system. When the Fujitsu logo appears, press [F12] key.
2.
Cursor down to <Recovery and Utility> and press the [Enter] key.
3.
While the files are being loaded from the disc, a progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen.
