Recovering
software
using
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
program

program
provides
an
environment
that
runs
independently
of
the
Windows
operating
system
and
is
hidden
from
the
Windows
operating
system.
Because
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
workspace
is
hidden,
it
is
immune
from
most
virus
attacks
and
provides
a
safe
place
to
perform
rescue
and
recovery
operations
that
might
not
be
possible
in
the
Windows
environment.
The
following
recovery

are
provided
by
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
program:
v

Product
Recovery
discs.
v
Create
rescue
media.
v
Back
up
your
hard
disk
periodically.
v
Create
a
Recovery
Repair
diskette.

a
problem
with
the
software
is
encountered,
you
can
use
the
recovery
tools
from
either
the
Windows
environment
or
from
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
workspace
to
