Setting a rescue device in the startup sequence
Before you start the Rescue and Recovery program from an internal hard disk drive, a disc, a USB hard disk
drive, or other external devices, you must first make sure that your rescue device is set as the first boot
device in the startup device sequence in the Setup Utility program. Refer to “Selecting a startup device” on
page 19 for detailed information about temporarily or permanently changing the startup sequence.
Note: If you use an external device, you must first turn off your computer before connecting the external
device.
For more information on the Setup Utility program, see Chapter 5 “Using the Setup Utility” on page 17.
Solving recovery problems
If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment, do one
of the following:
• Use a rescue medium to start the Rescue and Recovery workspace. See “Creating and using rescue
media” on page 36.
• Use a recovery medium if you want to restore the system drive or the hard disk drive to the factory default
settings. See “Creating and using recovery media” on page 33.
Note: If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment from a
rescue medium, a recovery repair diskette, or a recovery medium, you might not have the rescue device,
diskette drive, or recovery device set as the first boot device in the startup device sequence. For more
information, see “Setting a rescue device in the startup sequence” on page 38.
It is important to create a rescue medium, a recovery repair diskette, and a recovery medium as early as
possible and store them in a safe place.
