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 les 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 conguration errors,
driver installation errors, system le corruption, spyware or virus infection (when
used in conjunction with antivirus software), and more.
Unlike other restoration methods, AlienRespawn v2.0 oers 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).
