Data Recovery
There are several methods to restore your data. It is best to
start with the least destructive and fastest recovery options.
Try this first: Restore System Information
If you are having problems with your system, restore system
information to an earlier state, or Restore Point. To restore to
an earlier state, select Start, All Programs, Accessories, Sys-
tem Tools, System Restore. Then, follow the instructions in the
Wizard.
Try this next: Restore a Backup
You can restore files and folders that you have backed up using
the Windows Backup Utility. See instructions below:
WindoWs xP: Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, Sys-
tem Tools, Backup.
WindoWs vista: Click the Start button, open the Control
Panel, and select Backup Your Computer under System and
Maintenance. This will bring you to the Backup and Restore
Center where you can restore files and folders.
Try this last: Restore Entire Contents of Drive C:
If none of the above steps restore your disk image to a stable
state, you may need to restore your disk to its original factory
image or an image you saved using the Hard Disk Backup and
Recovery Utility. Restoring a previously saved disk image
overwrites the entire contents of drive C:. Before running this
process, save your data to another location, such as a USB
flash drive.
WindoWs xP: Select Start, All Programs, Mobile Computer
Tools, Hard Disk Backup and Recovery. You will be prompted
for additional information.
WindoWs vista: Click the Start button, open the Control
Panel, and select Backup Your Computer under System and
Maintenance. This will bring you to the Backup and Restore
Center. From here, you can restore your entire computer from
a Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore Image. Click on
Restore Computer to begin the process.
note The Hard Disk Backup and Recovery Utility is only
available on computers configured with a Recovery Partition. If
it is not available, you will either need to contact your com-
pany’s help desk about obtaining a Recovery CD or return your
unit for service.
