Viewsonic System Recovery DVD/HDD Partition

Your computer supports system recovery to allow you to restore the system to its default fac-

tory settings.

Data Backup

Note that system

recovery will delete

all hard disk

partitions, and any

data contained

therein. Therefore ensure you backup all data from any created partitions before running the

system recovery

DVD.

You can run the Recovery DVD, or recover the system from the hard disk partition, if you:

1.Have a system or hardware failure.

2.Need to restore the system to factory settings.

3.Have forgotten the system password.
