3. Confirm that you want to continue. Click Yes to begin the recov-
ery process. Or—if not using the mouse—press Tab to select and
then press the space bar. (Selecting No returns you to the previ-
ous screen, from which you can exit FirstWare Recover Pro.)
The recovery starts, and the FirstWare Progress screen displays.
No further selections are required.
When you run FirstWare Recover Pro, the system is returned to the
basic factory configuration. If you recover the entire hard drive (not
just a boot partition), all data (files) you have created and stored on
your system’s hard drive and all applications that you have installed
on the system will be lost.
►Monitoring the Recovery Process◄
As the FirstWare Recover Pro Progress screen displays and up-
dates, you can monitor the recovery progress.
The screen indicates several types of information during recovery:
• Percentage of recovery completed
• Time elapsed
• Estimated time remaining
The time it takes FirstWare Recover Pro to complete the recovery
varies from approximately 5 or 10 minutes to more than one hour,
depending on the size of the recovery image and system perfor-
mance. The more applications and utilities that were included in the
factory setup, the longer the process will take.
• Number of KB of data to be recovered
Cancel—If you select Cancel, the recovery process will stop, but
the system will be unbootable. It is recommended that you select
Cancel only to delay the process until a later time.
►Successful Recovery◄
When the recovery process is successfully completed, the following
actions occur automatically:
• The FirstWare Recover Progress screen indicates the process
is complete,and the screen disappears.
• The computer reboots.
• The operating system starts up, and your desktop displays.
Operating system start-up is the indication that the recovery process
was successful.
The operating system should now be working, and factory-installed
applications should be available and functional. Your personal data
files, however, will no longer be available.
The Recover Pro Factory Restore image remains in the protected
area of your system in case you need to run it again in the future.
