Recovery Options

There are two

options to recover

the software to

your hard drive.

The Recovery

Partition contains

copies of all the

software originally

installed on your

computer.

Before you do a

System Recovery, try

Windows Non-

Destructive System

Recovery first. You

may be able to "Roll-

back" without needing

to reinstall software.

Option 1

Non-Destructive System Recovery

Non-Destructive System Recovery will recover the original software

to your hard drive without formatting it first. This process preserves

data files on your hard drive but requires you to reinstall any soft-

ware not originally on the hard drive.

Steps for Option 1, Non-Destructive System Recovery

1. Turn on your computer. Immediately after the WinBook

logo is displayed, a 5 second countdown message will

appear on the screen as follows: "Press F10 to start

recovery".

2. Press the F10 key before the countdown expires to start

the recovery console.

3. Read the End User Notice concerning the operation of

the recovery software and click on the 'I Agree' button

to continue or the 'I disagree' button to cancel the

recovery process.

4. The recovery process defaults to "Non-Destructive

System Recovery." If this is what you want, press the

"Next" button to continue.

5. The following screen explains that Windows XP has an

option to repair itself by going back to a point where

the operating system was working properly.

This is an option that works well with drivers or other

software programs that may have caused instability in

the operation of Windows, for more information see

the Windows Help file.

6. The next screen displays the status of the recovery

process.

7. After the recovery process has completed, press the

'Restart' button to reboot the notebook into the newly

recovered operating system.

Congratulations you have recovered your system!

Option 2

System Recovery Quick Format

System Recovery Quick Format will first format your hard drive and

all data on the drive will be lost. Again all software not originally

on the hard drive must be reinstalled.

Steps for Option 2, System Recovery Quick Format

1. Turn on your computer. Immediately after the WinBook

logo is displayed, a 5 second countdown message will

appear on the screen as follows: "Press F10 to start

recovery".

2. Press the F10 key before the countdown expires to start

the recovery console.

3. Read the End User Notice concerning the operation of

the recovery software and click on the 'I Agree' button

to continue or the 'I disagree' button to cancel the

recovery process.

4. The recovery process defaults to "Non-Destructive System

Recovery." To perform a "System Recovery-Quick

Format," press the "Advanced Options" button at the left

to continue.

5. The following screen will show that "System Recovery-No

Format" is pre-selected (green arrow) and you must click

on "System Recovery-Quick Format" to begin the process.

Warning: If you choose to continue this option, often

called "Destructive Recovery," it will completely erase

any data on the hard drive and restore software

settings as shipped from the factory.

Press the "Next" button to continue. (Figure A)

6. The following screen explains that Windows XP has

an option to repair itself by going back to a point where

the operating system was working properly. (Figure B)

This is an option that works well with drivers or other

software programs that may have caused instability in

the operation of Windows, for more information see

the Windows Help file.

7. To continue with "System Recovery Quick Format"

press "Yes" button.

This is the FINAL WARNING that all data on the hard

drive will be lost if you continue past this point. To

continue and format the hard drive press the "Yes"

button.

8. The next screen displays the status of the format

process.

9. The next screen displays the status of the recovery

process.

10. After the recovery process has completed, press the

'Restart' button to reboot the notebook into the newly

recovered operating system.

Congratulations you have recovered

your system!
