Restoring Damaged
or Erased Files
With Sonic BackUp MyPC SE software, you can
schedule a complete disaster recovery backup without
having to re-install Windows or any other software
programs. An integrated disaster recovery process
starts the PC from a customized set of backup media
(Disaster Recovery Set), restores the operating system,
and then recovers your data to the state it was in
when the Disaster Recovery Set was created.
Before performing a disaster recovery, you may want
to try other options. For example, if the problem
appears to be a Windows system problem, try to
recover by following the steps in the documentation
that came with your PC.
If you have a backup of your files, you can also
re-install Windows, reinstall your backup software,
and then selectively restore the rest of the files you
need. This last option may be the best choice if your
hardware configuration has changed since you
created your Disaster Recovery Set.
To restore files on your PC:
1 Insert the installation CD that came with your
HP Personal Media Drive, and then follow the
onscreen instructions to install Sonic BackUp
MyPC SE.
2 Restart your PC.
3 Click Start on the taskbar.
4 Choose All Programs, choose Sonic, Backup
MyPC, and then click Backup MyPC.
5 Select a blank backup job, and then click OK.
6 Click the Tools menu, and then click Restore
Wizard.
7 Follow the onscreen instructions.
You can click the Help menu, and then select
Backup MyPC Help for more information about this
program.
Transferring Files to
Another PC Manually

3 Disconnect your HP Personal Media Drive and then
connect it to another PC.
