1. RESTORE:

 

Restore the backed-up data to your hard disk.

 

(This button will not appear if there is no backup

 

file.)

 

2. BACKUP:

 

Back up data from hard disk.

 

3. REMOVE:

 

Remove previously-created backup files

 

to release disk space.

 

(This button will not appear if there is no backup

 

file.)

 

4. REBOOT:

 

Exit the main screen and restart the system.

Limitations:

 

1.Not compatible to Xpress Recovery.

2.For the use of Xpress Recovery2, a primary partition must be reserved.

3.Xpress Recovery2 will store the backup file at the end of the hard disk, so free space available on the hard disk for the backup file must be allocated in advance. (A minimum 4GB is recom- mended but the actual space is dependent on the size of the data to be backed up)

4.Capable of backing up hard disks installed with Windows operating systems including DOS and Windows XP/2000/NT/9x/Me.

5.USB hard disks are currently not supported.

6.Does not support RAID/AHCI (class code 0104/0106) hard disks.

7.Capable of backing up and restoring only the first physical hard disk.

Hard disks detection sequence is as follows:

a.PATA IDE primary channel

b.PATA IDE secondary channel

c. SATA IDE channel 1

d.SATA IDE channel 2

e.SATA IDE channel 3

f.SATA IDE channel 4

Precautions:

1.When using hard disks with more than 128G under Windows 2000, be sure to execute the EnableBigLba.exe program from the driver CD before data backup.

2.It is normal that data backup takes longer time than data restoration.

3.Xpress Recovery2 is compliant with the GPL regulations.

4.On a few motherboards based on Nvidia chipsets, BIOS update is required for Xpress Recovery2 to correctly identify RAID and SATA IDE mode. Please contact your motherboard manufacturer.

5.Xpress Recovery2 supports only PATA hard disks and not SATA hard disks on the following motherboards (As this is a BIOS-related issue, it can be solved by BIOS update)
