•Recovery of applications and drives

•Image or data backup:

•Backup to HDD (set recovery point)

•Backup to CD or DVD

•Image or data recovery tools:

•Recovery from a hidden partition (factory defaults)

•Recovery from the HDD (most recent user-defined recovery point)

•Recovery from CD or DVD

Note: If the computer did not come with a Recovery CD or System CD, please use Acer eRecovery Management’s “System backup to optical disk” feature to burn a backup image to CD or DVD. To ensure the best results when recovering the system using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management, detach all peripherals (except external Acer ODD, if equipped), including the Acer ezDock.
