B.1 System Recovery
USING RECOVERY DISK
Before we go on, let’s define some terminologies.
Hard disk is divided into RP & UP.
RP - Recovery Partition, it stores system files and is hidden by default
UP – User Partition, it can be divided into 2 parts (system files area + user
data area)
Users can choose to recover the system from either hard disk or recovery
DVD(s)/CD(s).
I. Recovering the System from Hard Disk
Two methods are available:
a. “Non Destructive Recovery” from Hard Disk
1. System recovery is done by having system files from RP copied to the
system files area in UP, and user data area stays intact. Before OS boots,
please press hotkeys F8 button to go into advance boot options.
