Step 4:

Turn on the system.

Step 5:

Press the <

Step 7:

Save changes and restart the computer. Continue to the next section for

instructions on partitioning the internal storage.

A.2.2 Create Partitions

To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions

(three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the

second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by

the one key recovery software.

Step 1:

Put the recovery CD in the optical drive of the system.

Step 2:

Boot the system from recovery CD

. When prompted, press any key to boot

from the recovery CD. It will take a while to launch the recovery tool. Please be

patient!
