USING RECOVERY DISK

Before we go on, let’s define some terminologies.

Hard disk is divided into RP & UP.

RP - Recovery Partition, it stores system files and is hidden by default

UP – User Partition, it can be divided into 2 parts (system files area + user data area)

Users can choose to recover the system from either hard disk or recovery DVD(s)/CD(s).

I. Recovering the System from Hard Disk

a. “Non Destructive Recovery” from Hard Disk

1.System recovery is done by having system files from RP copied to the system files area in UP, and user data area stays intact. Before OS boots, please press hotkeys F8 button to go into advance boot options.
