❑

The recovery process can last up to sixty minutes, and in this time you will be prompted to change CDs.

❑

You can recover only the software bundled with your computer. It does not work for the software you 
have installed subsequently or the data you have created. 

❑

This procedure recovers the entire system, which means you cannot choose to only recover Windows

®

.

❑

Make sure that your computer is connected to the AC power supply (not to the battery) before you 
attempt a system recovery.

❑

When the recovery is performed, you are recommended to remove the recovery CD-ROM from the drive 
before restarting the computer.

❑

To perform a system recovery, the notebook should not be docked (you must disconnect the docking 
station, unless your CD-ROM drive is on the docking station).

In My Computer you may have noticed the availability of two drive partitions (C: and D:). Your hard disk 
drive comes from the factory with 2 logical partitions. This does not mean that your computer contains two 
physical hard disks.

When you start using your computer, your C: partition (also referred to as C: drive) contains all the files 
required by Windows

®

 and other software, while the D: drive is empty. The D: drive is the ideal storage space 

for all your documents and files, especially larger ones like digital motion pictures captured by DVgate.

✍

Although you can perform a system recovery and change the partition settings in order to have one C: drive only, this option is not recommended for 
using video editing applications like DVgate.

To optimise data storage, use the C: drive to install new applications, and save all your documents and files to the D: drive. Moreover, doing so will 
prevent the loss of your data in case you need to perform a system recovery.
Do not try to add, delete, or resize partitions unless you really need to. Changing partition settings might delete all your files on the hard disk.
