For instructions on how to use the backup software supplied with your system, use the online help
included with the program.
Defragment Hard Drive
You should defragment your hard drive regularly. Select Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
Disk Defragmenter to open the utility included with the operating system. Follow the instructions
included in the operating system online help.
System Restore
The restore process returns your system to the original factory settings.
Before you start the restore process, back up all of your files. See Back Up Files (on page 32) for details.
The restore process completely overwrites the hard drive that contains your system files. Any additional
media drives in your system are not overwritten.
Recovery Solutions
Recovery Solutions, by PC Angel, gives you multiple options to restore your system back to a working
state in the event that it has encountered problems. Using the simplest method, a non-destructive
media-less recovery solution will get your system working properly within seconds. Please use this
section of the manual as a resource in the event that you need to recover your system due to software
and OS related problems or hard drive failure.
Note:
In the event of a hard drive failure you must have created backup media.
Create Your Backup Media
To prevent data loss, it is important to back up your media to the CD-ROM drive or external USB
recovery media using the PC Recovery Center. To launch the Recovery Center, open the Start Menu and
select All Programs > PC Recovery Center > PC Recovery Center.
Note:
We recommend Maxell or Fuji DVDRs. We do not recommend Staples, Sony, or CDRW media.
Recovery Options
Recovery allows you to restore your system using five methods, from non-destructive to destructive. It is
recommended that you recover your system in stages beginning with the non-destructive method first,
which retains your user data. If necessary you can do a full system restore back to its original state.
