Rescanning a computer’s hard disk
Use Refresh to update the drive information that is displayed in various views of
the product. This feature is useful when hard disk configurations have changed
but the changes do not immediately appear in Symantec System Recovery. For
example, adding hard disk space or creating a partition.
When you use Refresh, Symantec System Recovery scans all attached hard disks
for any configuration changes. It also updates information on removable media,
media drives, hard drives, file systems, and hard drive letters.

On the View menu, click Refresh.

scanning takes place.

About the icons on the Home page
On the Home page, the Backup Status pane provides a summary of the backup
protection status of your computer. For example, suppose one or more drives are
not included in a defined backup. In such cases, the background color and status
icon change to reflect the level of backup protection. The Status Details pane
provides recommendations on which actions you should take.
The following table describes each of the levels of backup protection that the
Home page displays.
