Solving recovery problems
If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment, do one
of the following:
• Use a rescue medium to start the Rescue and Recovery workspace. See “Creating and using a rescue
medium” on page 38
.
• Use recovery media if all other methods of recovery have failed and you need to restore the hard disk
drive to the factory default settings. See “Creating and using recovery media” on page 35
.
Note: If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment from a
rescue medium, a recovery repair diskette, or recovery media, you might not have the rescue device (an
internal hard disk drive, a disc, a USB hard disk drive, or other external devices) set as the rst boot device in
the startup device sequence. You must rst make sure that your rescue device is set as the rst boot device
in the startup device sequence in the Setup Utility program. See “Selecting a startup device” on page 43
for
detailed information about temporarily or permanently changing the startup device sequence. For more
information about the Setup Utility program, see Chapter 4 “Using the Setup Utility” on page 41.
It is important to create a rescue medium, a recovery repair diskette, and a set of recovery media as early as
possible and store them in a safe place for future use.
