Restoring data

If you experience a problem, you can use the Windows Recovery Environment to repair your 

Windows Vista files, or you can restore your computer to the state it was in when it left the 

factory. If a serious problem occurs and Windows Vista will not restart, the Windows 

Recovery Environment Repair will automatically start. Additionally, you can create your own 

backup data archives and restore those later. For more information, see “Creating a backup
