About recovering a computer
If Windows fails to start or does not run normally, you can recover your computer
using the Symantec Recovery Disk and an available recovery point.
Note: If you can start Windows and the drive that you want to restore is a secondary
drive (which is any drive other than your system drive, or the drive where your
operating system is installed), you can restore the drive within Windows.
The Symantec Recovery Disk lets you run a recovery environment that provides
temporary access to Norton Ghost recovery features. For example, you can access
the Recover My Computer Wizard to restart the computer into its previous, usable
state.
