v Use a rescue medium to start the Rescue and Recovery workspace. See “Creating
and using a rescue medium” on page 17.
v Use recovery media if all other methods of recovery have failed and you need to
restore the hard disk drive to the factory default settings. See “Creating and
using recovery media” on page 13.
Note: If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the
Windows environment from a rescue medium or recovery media, you might
not have the rescue device (an internal hard disk drive, a disc, a USB hard
disk drive, or other external devices) set as the first boot device in the
startup device sequence. You must first make sure that your rescue device is
set as the first boot device in the startup device sequence in the Setup Utility
program. See “Selecting a startup device” on page 23 for detailed
information about temporarily or permanently changing the startup device
sequence. For more information about the Setup Utility program, see
Chapter 4, “Using the Setup Utility program,” on page 21.
It is important to create a rescue medium and a set of recovery media as early as
possible and store them in a safe place for future use.
