Restoring your computer
If disaster has struck and your system software is damaged or
completely erased, this chapter provides you with step-by-step
instructions on how to restore your system.

These steps will be successful ONLY if you have backed up your
system using Retropsect and the steps outlined in the previous
chapter.
What’s contained in a full system restore?
• Your current operating system
• Your applications
• Your personal files
• Your computer’s settings - including the registry (on Windows)
Before you begin. . .
Because of factors like processor type, motherboard, video display
card and other hardware that is specific to your brand and model of
computer, we urge you to ONLY do a full system restore to the
same computer. Restoring your operating system, its applications
and settings to another computer with different hardware is not
supported and may cause significant problems with that computer.
