Restore  System  Partition  to  Factory  Defaults

:  overwrites  the  C  partition  (only)  on  the 

existing system drive from the disk image in its local Restore partition. 

Note: Following a Reset to Factory Defaults operation, the Windows® system software 
must be re-activated.  To do this, you will need the operating system serial number, 
which you will find on a sticker affixed to the exterior of your system. 

This procedure restores your system drive (“C:”) to its ‘as-shipped’ state.  However any 
software  updates  you  performed  earlier  will  be  overwritten.    When  you  do  restore, 
remember to update the 3Play software afterward. 
 

 

Create User Backup Drive

: create a bootable clone of the entire system drive (as it exists 

at  the  time)  on  either  an  external  HDD  or  a  drive  mounted  in  a  removable  hard  drive 
bay. 

The clone operation includes: 

o

 

The existing (factory-prepared) Restore partition 

o

 

The complete C partition 
 

In  cases  of  catastrophic  drive  failure  requiring  drive  replacement,  a  service  technician 
can connect the 

User Backup

 ‘clone’ drive in place of the original internal system drive 

and you’ll be back in production (prudence would call  for  creating a  new 

User Backup

 

drive as the first order of business. 

 

 

Restore  System  Partition  from  User  Backup  Drive

:  overwrites  the  C  partition  (only)  on 

the  existing  system  drive  with  the  C  partition  on  the  external  user  backup  drive.    This 
allows  you  to  insert  a 

User  Backup

  drive  into  a  removable  drive  bay  (or  otherwise 

connect it), and regain a functional system partition as stored on the clone drive. 

Note: This feature it is intended to allow a restore operation of the system drive that the 
clone was prepared on.  It is not intended to allow restoration from a ‘foreign’ unit. 
Using the ‘Restore System Partition from User Backup Drive’ in the latter manner will 
almost certainly cause multiple problems. 

In a dire emergency, however (such as if a system drive fails when no User Backup from 
the same unit has been prepared) a User Backup created on a similar model 3Play can be 
helpful, as follows:
