Using the Rescue and Recovery workspace

The Rescue and Recovery workspace resides in a protected, hidden area of your solid-state drive that operates independently from the Windows operating system. This enables you to perform recovery operations even if you cannot start the Windows operating system. You can perform the following recovery operations from the Rescue and Recovery workspace:

•Rescue files from your solid-state drive or from a backup

The Rescue and Recovery workspace enables you to locate files on your solid-state drive and transfer them to a network drive or other recordable media, such as a USB device or a disc. This solution is available even if you did not back up your files or if changes were made to the files since your last backup operation. You also can rescue individual files from a Rescue and Recovery backup located on your local solid-state drive, a USB device, or a network drive.

•Restore your solid-state drive from a Rescue and Recovery backup

If you have backed up your solid-state drive using the Rescue and Recovery program, you can restore the solid-state drive from a Rescue and Recovery backup, even if you cannot start the Windows operating system.

•Restore your solid-state drive to the factory default settings

The Rescue and Recovery workspace enables you to restore the complete contents of your solid-state drive to the factory default settings. If you have multiple partitions on your solid-state drive, you have the option to restore the factory default settings to the C: partition and leave the other partitions intact. Because the Rescue and Recovery workspace operates independently from the Windows operating system, you can restore the factory default settings even if you cannot start the Windows operating system.

Attention: If you restore the solid-state drive from a Rescue and Recovery backup or restore the solid-state drive to the factory default settings, all files on the primary solid-state drive partition (usually drive C:) will be deleted in the recovery process. If possible, make copies of important files. If you are unable to start the Windows operating system, you can use the rescue files feature of the Rescue and Recovery workspace to copy files from your solid-state drive to other media.

To start the Rescue and Recovery workspace, do the following:

1. Ensure that the computer is turned off.
