Recovery options Using Rescue and Recovery If Windows is not running properly, use the Rescue and Recovery workspace to help solve or identify your problem. After the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens, you can do the following: v Rescue and Restore your files, folders, or backups. For more information about using Rescue and Recovery features, see the "Recovery overview" section in online Access Help. Restoring factory contents Instead of providing a recovery CD or a Windows® CD with your computer, Lenovo provides simpler methods of accomplishing the tasks typically associated with these CDs. The files and programs for these alternative methods are on your hard disk, which eliminates having to locate misplaced CDs and problems associated with using an incorrect CD version. The complete backup of all the files and programs that Lenovo preinstalled on your computer resides in a hidden protected area, or partition, of the hard disk. Although hidden, the backups in the partition consume hard disk space. Therefore, when checking the capacity of your hard disk according to Windows, you might note that the total capacity of the disk appears to be smaller than anticipated. This discrepancy is explained by the contents of the hidden partition. The Product Recovery Program contained within this area enables you to restore the complete contents of your hard disk to the same state as it was when originally shipped from the factory. To recover the hard disk to its original contents, do the following: © Copyright Lenovo 2006 19 Recovery options Attention: All of the files on the primary hard disk partition (usually drive C) will be lost in the recovery process. However, before any data is overwritten, you will be given the opportunity to save one or more files to other media. Note: If you forget to select the On position of the wireless radio switch, your wireless network card will not be recognized, and the wireless card driver will not be included in your system. Click Restore your system, select Restore my hard drive to the original factory state, and follow the instructions on the screen. Recovering data If you performed a backup operation using the Rescue and Recovery program, you also have one or more backups stored that reflect the contents of the hard disk as it existed at various points in time. These backups might be stored on your hard disk, or a network drive, or on removable media, depending on the options you selected during the backup operation. You can use either the Rescue and Recovery program or the Rescue and Recovery workspace to restore the contents of the hard disk to an earlier state using any of the stored backups. The Rescue and Recovery workspace runs independently of the Windows operating system. Therefore, you can start it by pressing the Lenovo Care button when prompted during startup. After the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens you can perform a recovery operation, even if you are unable to start Windows. 20 Lenovo 3000 C Series and N Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide Chapter 5.
