If the wizard cannot lock the drive to perform the recovery in Windows
(typically, because the drive is in use by a program), make sure the drive is
not in use by closing any files or applications that might be using it, and then
click Retry.
If the Retry option fails, click Ignore to tell Windows to attempt to force a
lock on the drive. If Ignore failes, you might be prompted to insert the
Symantec Recovery Disk and manually start the recovery environment so
that you can complete the recovery. When the recovery is finished, the
computer restarts automatically.
