Restoring Damaged or
Erased Files
With Roxio BackUp MyPC 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 computer 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 computer.
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 computer:
1 Make sure the Roxio BackUp MyPC for HP software
is installed. See “Installing Drivers and Software” on
page 5.
2 Restart your computer.
3 Click the Windows Start Button
.
4 Choose All Programs, choose Roxio, 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
computer manually
You can transfer your computer profile information,
which includes how your computer looks and feels as
well as the personal files such as photos, music, or
video you have created.
To transfer your files manually:
1 Connect the drive to the computer.
2 Select your files and then drag and drop them to the
HP Pocket Media Drive in the Computer window.
3 Disconnect the drive and then connect it to another
computer.
4 Select your files and then drag and drop them to the
new computer’s hard disk drive.
Playing games
CD-ROM games typically run faster when they are
installed on a hard disk drive than when they run on a
CD. You can use your HP Pocket Media Drive to store
and play CD-ROM games.
