Put your SRD CD into the CD drive, and then restart your computer.

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 have a CD burner.

new settings.

Press any key to start the recovery environment (Symantec Recovery Disk).
When you start your computer with the SRD CD in the drive, you will see a
prompt telling you to “Press any key to boot from CD”. If you do not press a
key within five seconds, your computer will attempt to start from the next
bootable device listed in the BIOS.
Note: Watch carefully as the computer starts. If you miss the prompt, the
computer will need to be restarted again.
Preparing to recover a computer
You should scan your hard disk to check it for corrupted data or surface damage
before recovering your computer.
You should also scan your computer for viruses. You can run this scan using some
versions of the Symantec Recovery Disk.
See “Scanning for viruses” on page 154.
See “Checking your hard disk for errors” on page 156.
Scanning for viruses
If you suspect that your computer was damaged by a virus or other threat, you
should run a virus scan before you restore your computer.
