Recovering
software
The
Rescue
and
Recovery
™
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.
This
chapter
will
help
you
become
familiar
with
the
following
recovery
solutions
provided
by
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
program
installed
on
your
computer:
v
Create
Product
Recovery
discs.
See
v
Create
rescue
media.
See
v
Back
up
your
hard
disk
periodically.
See
v
Create
a
Recovery
Repair
diskette.
See
Note:
The
rescue
disc,
first
disc
of
the
Product
Recovery
discs
and
backup
discs
are
startable
(bootable).
They
can
be
started
in
any
type
of
CD
or
DVD
drive
except
for
a
DVD-RAM
media.
If
you
encounter
a
problem,
you
can
use
the
recovery
tools
from
either
the
Windows
environment
or
from
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
workspace
to
do
one
of
the
two
recovery
operations:
v
Rescue
files
v
Restore
your
backups
See
to
perform
one
of
the
two
recovery
operations.
See
the
Lenovo
Care
program
for
additional
information
about
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
program.
Creating
and
using
product
recovery
discs
If
your
computer
is
equipped
with
a
recordable
CD
or
DVD
drive,
you
can
create
a
set
of
Product
Recovery
discs
that
enables
you
to
restore
the
contents
of
the
hard
disk
to
the
same
state
as
when
the
computer
was
originally
shipped
from
the
factory.
Product
Recovery
discs
are
useful
if
you
transfer
the
computer
to
another
area,
sell
the
computer,
recycle
the
computer,
or
as
a
last
resort
put
the
computer
in
an
operational
state
after
all
other
methods
of
recovery
have
failed.
It
is
a
good
idea
to
create
a
set
of
Product
Recovery
discs
as
soon
as
possible.
