Restoring a home computer

You can easily restore any of your home computers to a previous point in
time with a backup stored on your home server. You can do this by using the
Computer Recovery CD. This CD can be used to restore all of the files on your
home computer from a backup, including the Windows operating system and
applications.

To restore a home computer:

Important: You need the Windows Home Server administrator password to
restore a home computer.

1

. Place the Computer Recovery CD in the CD drive of the computer that you

want to restore.

2. Restart the computer and boot from CD.
3. Follow the instructions in the Restore Computer Wizard to restore the hard

drives on your home computer.

Note: Your home computer must be connected to the home network

with an Ethernet network cable before you begin the restore. Wireless
connection is not supported.

If the drivers did not load or the NIC (network interface card) driver cannot be
found during computer recovery, you can click “Where can I find drivers for my
hardware?” to bring up an online help file for detailed instructions on how to find
and load drivers.
