Advanced Recovery

This method completely reformats your hard drive and return your computer to 

its  original  factory  configuration  resolving  all  software  or  configuration  issues. 

This option is best for most software related issues.

A  backup  of  your  entire  current  hard  drive  will  be  created  in 

C:\BACKUP,  from 

which data files may be copied to permanent locations. Once you have retrieved 

all desired files, this directory may be safely deleted.

In cases of virus or spyware infection, it is advisable to thoroughly scan and clean  

C:\BACKUP prior to copying files out of it; for this reason, it is recommended that 

you  install  and  run  your  preferred  third-party  antivirus  or  antispyware  utilities 

prior to retrieving your data.

If viruses or spyware were present prior to running AlienRespawn v2.0, there is a 

chance of re-infection from backup files if these are not successfully cleaned.

Factory System Recovery

This option is for last-resort system recovery.

This  method  completely  reformats  your  hard  drive  and  returns  your  computer 

to its configuration as shipped. This is a complete system recovery – the entire 

configuration is restored to its factory default state, resolving all software and 

configuration issues. Viruses or spyware will be eliminated. However, it is advised 

that you scan all external storage media to prevent re-infection.

No data backup will be performed. All saved data will be lost.

Recovery Options

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  files  onto  an  external  media  before 

initiating recovery.

AlienRespawn v2.0 offers three methods for system recovery. Each option offers 

a  unique  combination  of  restoration  and  data-backup  features.  The  details  of 

each method are described below.

Microsoft System Restore

This option provides access to Microsoft System Restore points stored on your 

computer  without  having  to  enter  Windows  itself.  For  more  information  on 

System Restore, see “Help and Support” within Windows.

This option is best for driver or operating system file corruption. It allows recovery 

through System Restore even if Windows cannot be accessed and resolves many 

operating system-related problems without altering user-created files.

System Restore points stored on your hard drive must be intact. If these files or 

the hard drive itself have been damaged, System Restore may not be accessible. 

Although System Restore resolves many operating system problems, it is 

possible for significant problems, such as certain types of virus or spyware 

infections, to persist after recovery.
