Note: If you purchased Norton Ghost from your computer manufacturer, some
features in the recovery environment might not be available. For example, if the
manufacturer installed the recovery environment on your computer's hard disk.
Your manufacturer might also assign a keyboard key for the purpose of starting
the recovery environment.
When you restart your computer, watch for instructions on your computer monitor,
or refer to your manufacturer's instructions.
Starting a computer by using the recovery
environment
The Symantec Recovery Disk lets you start a computer that can no longer run the
Windows operating system. The Symantec Recovery Disk is included with Norton
Ghost. When you boot your computer using the SRD CD, a simplified version of
Windows starts that runs a recovery environment. In the recovery environment,
you can access the recovery features of Norton Ghost.
Note: Depending on which version of the product you have purchased, the SRD
is either included on your product CD, or as a separate CD. You should place the
CD containing the SRD in a safe place. Should you lose the CD, you can create a
new one if you have a CD burner. See If driver validation fails in the Norton Ghost™
User's Guide.
Note: The recovery environment requires a minimum of 512 MB of RAM to run.
If your computer's video card is configured to share your computer's RAM, you
might need more than 512 MB of RAM.
Also, if you are installing a multilingual version of the product, you must have a
minimum of 768 MB of RAM to run the Symantec Recovery Disk.
