4-1-2 Xpress Recovery2 Introduction

Xpress Recovery2 is designed to provide quick backup and restora- tion of hard disk data. Supporting Microsoft operating systems including Windows XP/2000/NT/98/Me and DOS, and file systems including FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS, Xpress Recovery2 is able to back up data

on hard disks on PATA and SATA IDE controllers. After Xpress Recovery2 is executed from CD-ROM for the first time, it will stay permanent in your hard disk. If you wish to run Xpress Recovery2 later, you can simply press F9 during system bootup to enter Xpress Recovery2 without the CD-ROM.

System requirements:

1.Intel x86 platforms

2.At least 64M bytes of system memory

3.VESA-supported VGA cards
