CREATING AND REINSTALLING A GHOST

OF YOUR SYSTEM

All delivering systems have a R: RESTORE partition located on the

system disk. This allows you to have an image file of the C: partition,

and easily restore the complete XP operating system and XFile Software

to the factory default state at any time.
