System Recovery

Your All-in-One PC supports system recovery to enable users to restore the system to its default settings. This function is useful in the event of a system failure or when you forget system passwords.

When to Use System Recovery

You need to run system recovery:

•In the event of a system or hardware failure.

•You need to restore the system back to its default settings.

•You forgot the system password.

System recovery will format the hard disk and restore the system to its default settings. Thus all files and other data on drive C: will be deleted.

You may run system recovery with:

•ViewSonic® Recovery Manager - helps you reinstall the factory-shipped operating system and hardware drivers. For details, see Running ViewSonic® Recovery Manager.

•Recovery discs - allowing you to create recovery discs from factory default system image. Then you may recover your system from the recovery discs you have created, when the system is abnormal or damaged. For details, see Running Recovery Disc Creation Tool and Using the recovery DVD.
