The DON’T ERASE logical disk supports the recovery process only and does not host a secondary
operating system. If the operating system has a failure that might result from corrupt system files, a corrupt
registry, or the system hangs during boot, see "

manually by the end user. Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the System Recovery DVD to
