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

“Using

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

workspace”

on

page

35

to

perform

one

of

the

two

recovery

operations.

Refer

to

the

Access

Help

online

help

system

for

additional

information

about

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

program.

For

information

on

how

to

access

the

online

help

system,

see

“Access

Help”

on

page

The

following

information

refers

to

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

Windows

environment.

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.

create

Product

Recovery

discs,

do

the

following:

desktop,
