Recovering
software
The
Rescue
and
Recovery
program
is
software
aimed
at
helping
users
restore
their
computer
data
and
recover
from
software
or
hardware-related
failures.
In
the
event
of
a
computer
failure,
use
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
program
to
restore
the
contents
of
the
primary
hard
drive
to
a
previously
saved
state.
This
chapter
will
help
you
become
familiar
with
recovery
solutions
provided
by
Lenovo.
The
Rescue
and
Recovery
program
has
two
components,
Rescue
and
Recovery
(Windows
environment)
and
Rescue
and
Recovery
workspace.
Recovery
operations
can
be
launched
from
Windows
or
from
a
Rescue
and
Recovery
workspace
environment
that
is
independent
of
the
Windows
operating
system.
If
you
encounter
a
problem,
use
the
recovery
tools
from
either
the
Windows
environment
or
from
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
workspace
to
perform
one
of
the
two
recovery
operations:
v
Rescue
files
v
Restore
your
system
or
your
individual
files
See

perform
one
of
the
two
recovery
operations.

Creating
and
using
product
recovery
discs
If
your
computer
is
equipped
with
a
recordable
CD
or
DVD
drive,
you
can
create
a
set
of
Product
Recovery
discs
that
enables
you
to
restore
the
contents
of
the
hard
disk
to
the
same
state
as
when
the
computer
was
originally
shipped
from
the
factory.
Product
Recovery
discs
are
useful
if
you
transfer
the
computer
to
another
area,
sell
the
computer,
recycle
the
computer,
or
as
a
last
resort
put
the
computer
in
an
operational
state
after
all
other
methods
of
recovery
have
failed.
It
is
important
to
create
a
set
of
Product
Recovery
discs
as
soon
as
possible.
Note:
Your
Microsoft
Windows
license
permits
you
to
create
only
one
set
of
Product
Recovery
discs,
so
it
is
important
that
you
store
the
discs
in
a
safe
place
after
you
make
them.

Product
Recovery
discs,
