Using EASY Fix to Recover from a Hardware
Failure
EASY Fix is a suite of tools that allow you to perform:
• • • • Emergency Backup/Recovery - Recover personal files even after Windows has
crashed and will not restart.
• • • •
Repair/Reset – Easily repair your computer including your Windows operating
system and software programs from a previous backup, without affecting your
personal files.
• • • • Reimage - In the case of a computer hard drive failure, easily reimage everything
onto your computer's hard drive.
EASY Fix is not part of the normal Windows software that you will see every day when you
run Clickfree backups. In order to use Clickfree EASY Fix, you will need to restart your
computer to boot from the C6.
R EBOOTING YOUR COMPUTER FROM THE C6
1. Connect the C6 to your computer, then restart your computer. Look for a message at
startup that indicates the key to press to change the Boot device order. Usually the
startup screen is black and white and the message will have the keyword "Boot". F9, F12,
or Esc are common keys, but each computer will be different.

2. Press this key repeatedly until you get to the Boot Menu. You only have a short time to
do this before Windows boots up -- if you reach the Windows startup screen, you must
restart your computer by using the "Restart" option in the Shutdown Options.
3. The Boot Menu will show a list of drives that can be used to boot up your computer. Use
the arrow key to highlight the C6 (which may be listed as “Clickfree Backup Drive”,
"CD/DVD ROM", “USB HDD”, or “USB CD-ROM”), then press Enter.
4. The computer restarts and loads the Clickfree EASY Fix Welcome screen.
