Restoring data
If you experience a problem, you can use the Windows Recovery Environment to repair your Windows Vista files, or you can restore your computer to the state it was in when it left the factory. If a serious problem occurs and Windows Vista will not restart, the Windows Recovery Environment Repair will automatically start. Additionally, you can create your own backup data archives and restore those later. For more information, see “Creating a backup archive” on page 65.

3.Select a keyboard layout and click Next.
