AlienRespawn v2.0 Disc

If you ordered the optional AlienRespawn v2.0 disc, you will receive it along with your computer. This disc will allow you to re-deploy AlienRespawn v2.0 to a new hard drive in the event of a hard drive failure.

To Use the AlienRespawn v2.0 Disc

NOTE: The Alienware recovery system is set up to boot from your CD-ROM drive. You can verify through the Boot Menu hotkey (see “Boot Menu” on page 38) that your computer is set to boot from the optical drive.

1.Insert the AlienRespawn v2.0 disc into your optical drive.

2.Turn on your computer (if the system is currently in Windows, restart).

3.Your computer will automatically boot into AlienRespawn v2.0 environment.

•If no recovery partition is detected on your system, AlienRespawn v2.0 will proceed directly to the Complete Recovery option, restoring your system to its factory-shipped state.

•If an existing AlienRespawn v2.0 recovery partition is detected, you will be prompted to choose to run the recovery process from either the hard drive or from the disc. Running from the hard drive is recommended; however, if this fails, running from the disc may resolve the problem. Whichever you choose, the recovery options will be the same as those described in this section.
