Recovering

pre-installed

software

Your

computer

hard

disk

has

a

hidden,

protected

area

for

backups.

Contained

within

this

area

is

a

complete

backup

of

the

hard

disk

as

it

was

shipped

from

the

factory

and

a

program

called

the

Rescue

and

Recovery.

If

you

performed

a

backup

operation

using

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

program,

you

also

have

one

or

more

backups

stored

that

reflect

the

contents

of

the

hard

disk,

as

it

existed

at

various

points

in

time.

These

backups

might

be

stored

on

your

hard

disk,

or

a

network

drive,

or

on

removable

media,

depending

on

the

options

you

selected

during

the

backup

operation.

You

can

use

either

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

program

or

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

workspace

to

restore

the

contents

of

the

hard

disk

to

an

earlier

state

using

any

of

the

stored

backups.

The

Rescue

and

Recovery

workspace

runs

independently

of

the

Windows

operating

system.

Therefore,

you

can

start

it

by

pressing

the

blue

Access

IBM

button

when

prompted

during

startup.

After

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

workspace

opens

you

can

perform

a

recovery

operation,

even

if

you

are

unable

to

start

Windows.

For

more

information

about

using

Rescue

and

Recovery

features,

“Data

backup-and-restore

tools”

or

“Introducing

Rescue

and

Recovery”

in

your

on-board

help.

recover

the

hard

disk

to

its

original

contents,
