DescriptionKey Component
The Symantec Recovery Disk (SRD) is used to boot your computer into the
recovery environment. If your computer's operating system fails, use the
SRD to recover your system drive (the drive where your operating system
is installed).
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 have a CD burner.
See “About recovering a computer ” on page 151.

drives, you need to tell Norton Ghost what to backup, when to back it up, and
where to put the backed up data.
Using Norton Ghost includes the following key tasks:
■ Defining a backup
■ Running a backup
■ Recovering files, folders, or entire drives
Refer to the following figure to understand the relationship of these tasks.
