CHAPTER 7: SYSTEM RECOVERY
AlienRespawn v2.0
NOTE: Back up all data before initiating a system recovery. Backup
functionality is included in AlienRespawn™ v2.0, but as a precaution it
is recommended to backup critical files onto an external media before
initiating recovery.
AlienRespawn™ v2.0 is a recovery solution which is capable of resolving many
software-related problems, including operating system configuration errors,
driver installation errors, system file corruption, spyware or virus infection (when
used in conjunction with antivirus software), and more.
Unlike other restoration methods, AlienRespawn v2.0 offers the ability to return
your computer to its factory default settings without permanently losing your
saved data.
If AlienRespawn v2.0 is unable to resolve your problem, contact Alienware
Technical Support (for more information, see “CONTACTING ALIENWARE“ on
page 70).
Using AlienRespawn v2.0
Remove any CD or DVD media from your optical drive. 1.
Turn on or restart your computer. 2.
NOTE: When your computer boots, it displays a prompt on the screen
for five seconds prior to loading Windows. Press <F10>when the prompt
appears.
Your computer now boots into the AlienRespawn v2.0 environment. If this 3.
is the first time you are running AlienRespawn v2.0, you must accept the
license agreement before proceeding.
