Recovering your system
System recovery is a data destructive process. You should
backup all data and applications prior to restoring. Please make
sure your system is connected to AC Power before continuing.
The system recovery methods listed below are only available
when your Joybook comes pre-installed with a Windows
operating system.
Should your system become unstable and you wish to restore it
to its original state or make a backup, you can do so following
either of the methods below:
• Method 1: The QDataTrove function of your Joybook. For
details, refer to
"Using QDataTrove"
below.
• Method 2: The supplied "Operating System Disc" and "Drivers
and Applications" discs (available depending on your
purchased model). For details, refer to
"Recovering your
system using the supplied discs" on page 50
.
Using QDataTrove
Launching QDataTrove:
1. Start your Joybook.
2. During the startup process, press the <Alt> + <F10> key
when you see "Press Alt + F10 key to enter QDataTrove" on
the upper left part of the screen.
3. The following options will then display on the screen. Click
Backup or Restore to proceed according to your need.
Backing up your files:
• Make sure your system is connected to AC Power before
performing the task.
• If you already have a previous backup file on the D: drive, then
it will be replaced.
• The backup files will occupy a large amount of disk space,
over 10GB, so make sure your D: drive has sufficient free
space available. You can click the D: drive under "Computer"
in Windows Vista, and then the total size and available free
space will appear in the Details pane at the bottom of the
folder window.
a. Make sure your D: drive has sufficient free space. For
details, refer to the note above.
b. To back up your complete system drive files, click
System Drive Backup/Primary Drive Backup under the
Backup tab to proceed.
