Recovery Manager provides a fast, reliable and secure way of restoring your computer to its factory default settings or custom system image from an image stored in a hidden partition on the hard disk on a secondary partition or on optical discs. Recovery Manage also provides a user-friendly utility to back up system settings, applications and data on the hard drive or optical disks. Many people think that daily data stored on the hard disk are stored in as safe. In fact such information is constantly in danger. Virus infections may not only undermine the stability of the operating system but destroy data stored on disk. Accidental deletion of important files can have similar effects.
When you buy a new computer, there are two options. The first is an option of much cheaper going to a smaller shop, buying the PC disk, choosing the pieces and assemble and install. And the other is going directly to buy a branded system which comes with the operating system. The second choice involves, most of the time, buying a branded computer, .i.e. produced by a famous company (Acer, Asus, HP, Sony, Dell, Toshiba), with settings and programs and pre-configured pre-installed I mentioned a few months ago. A typical example of this configuration is that of laptops, notebooks and netbooks, with special function keys and maybe even the latest features such as touchscreen that require special drivers and owners.
As a high-end customers, especially of this information may come up as a surprise to most of us, but that is what is fact - the first of its kind, most of the Dell computers come with an insurance company. It is provided with the files) that are originally packaged with the computer in the disk of the computer where it alienated a partition with all these files in a compressed state (in the absence of which, you will be a CD. After a bit 'of time may need to do a factory reset, a full restore the computer to return it to the state it was in when you bought it.
On computers pre-configured, there are two ways to do a reset the computer and return it to factory settings, completely excluding the possibility of deleterious format and reinstall Windows from scratch. The first one is the general method that we recommend using any type of computer, using a program backup if you want to reuse the computer, in case of problems on the disk but with the system intact, you should clone the disk, create an identical image has another hard disk (even outside) and then restore it.
The second one is the operating system which is full of problems or if you want to sell your computer, do not need a full copy of the disc, you just need to save important data to another hard drive and then bring your laptop or desktop PC settings factory preset same when it was purchased using the program installed by the manufacturer.
Each vendor has its own recovery solution, so there is no way to provide a definitive guide on each supplier. However, the overall restore process almost always works. First, you launch the program re-installation of Windows with its warning of data loss. After confirmed, we are awaiting according to a progress bar that can last half an hour or several hours depending on the computer. I recommend at this stage not to interrupt the process of restoring and reinstalling the system.
Precautions
- Conduct periodic restore points and before installing anything like Antivirus, Updates, etc. to avoid irreversible changes in the configuration.
- Keep your operating system up to date with patches and updates that Microsoft makes available through Windows Update.
- If power is prone to breaks in its electricity grid is highly recommended to disable the write cache to disk. In the Device Manager -> Hard Disk Properties -> disable the write cache. Windows XP is very sensitive to current breaks with hard drives.
- Back up all important data and divide the hard disk partitions to separate the important data from the operating system partition.
- Some motherboards require drivers and patches to work correctly as is the case of VIA: motherboards VIA chipset containing the package should install patches and drivers (IDE, PCI, AGP, etc. ) called 4in1.
The energy gaps are one of the most common causes of crashes. Windows XP is very sensitive to these jumps. Because this may be damaged computer components such as RAM (with which Windows XP is very demanding), and especially Motherboard Hard Drives. The most common component that is damaged Hard Drive.
An excellent tool supplied with the operating system itself is the checkdisk (chkdsk.exe), which repairs the hard drive most of the time, sometimes miraculously, but others unfortunately is not much depending on the degree of failure. It may be a data error (which usually can be fixed) or may be an error in the structure or surface of the disc (which usually has user-level solution). In this case it must bear the PC, a service technician to repair. But he never lost anything to try to run checkdisk.
