Solving recovery problems

If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment, you can:

vUse your rescue media (CD, DVD, or USB hard disk) to start the Rescue and Recovery workspace. See “Creatingand using rescue media” on page 36 for details.

vUse a Recovery Repair diskette to repair the Rescue and Recovery workspace or repair a file needed to enter the Windows environment. See “Creatingand using a Recovery Repair diskette” on page 37 for details.

vUse a set of Product Recovery discs if your intent is to restore the hard disk to its original factory contents. See “Creatingand using the Product Recovery disc” on page 33.

It is important to create a Recovery Repair diskette, rescue media, and a set of

Product Recovery discs as soon as possible and store them in a safe place.

If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment from rescue media, a Recovery Repair diskette, or a set of Product Recovery CDs, you might not have the rescue device, CD drive, DVD drive, or USB hard disk drive defined as a startup device in the BIOS startup sequence. For more information, see “Settinga rescue device in the startup sequence.”
