factory contents to the C: partition and leave the other partitions intact. Because the Rescue and Recovery workspace operates independently from the Windows operating system, you can restore the factory contents even if you cannot start the Windows operating system.

Attention: If you restore the hard disk drive from a Rescue and Recovery backup or restore the hard disk drive to the factory contents, all files on the primary hard disk drive partition (usually drive C) will be deleted in the recovery process. If possible, make copies of important files. If you are unable to start the Windows operating system, you can use the Rescue files feature in the Rescue and Recovery workspace to copy files from your hard disk drive to other media.

1.Turn off your computer.

2.Restart your computer.

3.Repeatedly press and release the F11 key.

4.When you hear beeps or see a logo screen, release the F11 key.

Notes:

2.Some computers come with Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works preinstalled. If you need to recover or reinstall your Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works applications, you must use the Microsoft Office CD or Microsoft Works CD.

Creating and using rescue media

Rescue media such as a CD or USB hard disk drive enables you to recover from failures that prevent you from gaining access to the Rescue and Recovery workspace on your hard disk drive.

Note: The recovery operations you can perform using rescue media vary depending on the operating system. The rescue disc can be started in any type of CD or DVD. Rescue media also contains a PC-Doctor diagnostics program, which enables you to run diagnostics from the rescue media.
