Solving recovery problems

If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment, do one of the following:

•Use a rescue medium to start the Rescue and Recovery workspace. See “Creating and using a rescue medium” on page 32.

•Use recovery media if all other methods of recovery have failed and you need to restore the hard disk drive to the factory default settings. See “Creating and using recovery media” on page 29.

Note: If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment from a rescue medium, a recovery repair diskette, or recovery media, you might not have the rescue device (an internal hard disk drive, a disc, a USB hard disk drive, or other external devices) set as the first boot device in the startup device sequence. You must first make sure that your rescue device is set as the first boot device in the startup device sequence in the Setup Utility program. See “Selecting a startup device” on page 37 for detailed information about temporarily or permanently changing the startup device sequence. For more information about the Setup Utility program, see Chapter 4 “Using the Setup Utility program” on page 35.

It is important to create a rescue medium, a recovery repair diskette, and a set of recovery media as early as possible and store them in a safe place for future use.
