Recycling your battery

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.

RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1-800-822-8837.

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/) and

search for a convenient disposal location.

Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.

* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the US or www.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks

in Canada.

** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.

- Volume Control

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.

Controlling the Volume

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

• Volume can be set from within the Volume Control in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen.

• Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]

will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the

volume of your notebook.

• Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications.

• Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

ANY SOFTWARE THAT CONTAINS AUDIO FILES WILL ALSO CONTAIN A VOLUME CONTROL OF ITS OWN. IF YOU INSTALL AN EXTERNAL AUDIO DEVICE

THAT HAS AN INDEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROL, THE HARDWARE VOLUME CONTROL AND THE SOFTWARE VOLUME CONTROL WILL INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF YOU SET YOUR SOFTWARE VOLUME TO OFF, YOU WILL OVERRIDE THE EXTERNAL VOLUME CONTROL SETTING.

- Starting Your LIFEBOOK Notebook

When you power on your LIFEBOOK, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LIFEBOOK notebook will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed.

See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 88.

Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the POST, your notebook will load your operating system.

Boot Sequence

he procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your notebook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until the operating system is found. During booting, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

• You turn on the power to your LIFEBOOK notebook.

• You restart your LIFEBOOK notebook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

• The software initiates a system restart; for example, when you install a new application.

DO NOT CARRY YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK AROUND WITH THE POWER ON OR SUBJECT IT TO SHOCKS OR VIBRATION, AS YOU RISK DAMAGING

YOUR NOTEBOOK.

EVER TURN OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE

DISPLAYED WHEN YOU TURN YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK ON THE NEXT TIME. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on

Booting the System

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices or put a DVD/CD in your drive until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.

When you turn on your LIFEBOOK notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Starting Windows the First Time

After you boot up the system the first time and follow the instructions on the screen, you will eventually come to the Welcome window. After the Welcome window appears, the screen will black out for up to several minutes. This is normal. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POWER DOWN THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT. While the screen is blacked out, your system configuration is being set up and the necessary files are being installed.

During the course of the first start up, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs) for Microsoft and Fujitsu.

Several additional windows will appear, prompting you to enter a name and description for your computer, an Administrator password, and a domain name. Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the information as directed.

Power Management

Your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK notebook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention; however, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook into Sleep mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

Power/Suspend/Resume Button

When your notebook is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put the notebook into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when the notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and the system will enter Sleep mode.

If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell if the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, your notebook is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. See “Hibernate Feature” on page 52.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, hard drive, and all other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.

Your notebook can be put in Sleep mode by:

• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.

• Selecting Sleep from the Windows Shut Down menu.

• Timing out from lack of activity.

Page 53

- Power Management

• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.

Hibernate Feature

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

The Hibernate is enabled by default. To disable or enable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:

1 From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then select the Power Options icon. 2 Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections (Do

Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).

• IF RUNNING YOUR NOTEBOOK ON BATTERY POWER, NOTE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DISCHARGE WHILE YOUR NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE,

THOUGH NOT AS FAST AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.

• DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE NOTEBOOK INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE.

HE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION CAN’T BE DISABLED.

• THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH CERTAIN PC CARDS. CHECK YOUR PC CARD DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE

INFORMATION. WHEN PC CARDS OR EXTERNAL DEVICES ARE IN USE, HIBERNATION MODE CANNOT RETURN TO THE EXACT STATE PRIOR TO SUSPENSION, BECAUSE ALL OF THE PERIPHERAL DEVICES WILL BE RE-INITIALIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM RESTARTS.

• IF YOUR NOTEBOOK IS ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE, CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT LOST. THE

FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING

IBERNATION MODE.

• THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF

YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR NOTEBOOK IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER UP/DOWN SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.

Page 54

- Power Management

Windows Power Management

The Power Options icon located in the Control Panel allows you to configure some power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.

Restarting the System

1 Click the Start button, and then move the mouse over the right arrow. 2 Select the desired action from the list.

Powering Off

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

1 Click the Start button, and then move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom right of the menu (for

Windows 7 systems, simply click the [Shut Down] button.

2 Select Shut Down from the list.

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more, see the Care and Maintenance Section.

TURNING OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR NOTEBOOK WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE NOTEBOOK

BEING SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START THE NEXT TIME.

E SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES, EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS, AND SHUT DOWN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE POWER. IF FILES ARE

OPEN WHEN YOU TURN THE POWER OFF, YOU WILL LOSE ANY CHANGES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED, AND MAY CAUSE DISK ERRORS.

ENERGY STAR® Compliance

Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PC. By choosing a computer with the latest energy-saving technology, you’re helping to preserve our environment for future generations.

ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, Natural Resources Canada, and other governments around the world helping us save money while

protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. With energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.

Sleep Mode:

You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of user inactivity, and the computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When going into Sleep mode, the computer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the Suspend/Resume Button.

Energy saving benefits:

Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.

• ALWAYS POWER OFF THE COMPUTER BEFORE TRANSPORTING AND/OR PACKAGING IT. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM, WAIT UNTIL THE STATUS

LED

PANEL INDICATES POWER OFF CONDITION (I.E., THE INDICATOR PANEL IS BLANK).

• IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNIT MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY GO TO POWER OFF OR HIBERNATE MODE WHEN YOU CLOSE THE LID. THIS SITUATION MAY

OCCUR DUE TO PRE-OS BOOT PASSWORD SECURITY SETTINGS OR SOME OTHER APPLICATION RUNNING ON THE COMPUTER.

• ATTEMPTING TO TRANSPORT THE COMPUTER WHILE POWER IS ON MAY DAMAGE THE NOTEBOOK DUE TO SHOCK OR OVERHEATING SINCE THE AIR

VENTS MAY BE BLOCKED OR RESTRICTED.

User-Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery

Your LIFEBOOK notebook has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.

The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

• When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. Extreme temperatures not only reduce

charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.

• When using a high current device such as an external optical drive or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will

conserve your battery life.

DO NOT LEAVE A FAULTY BATTERY IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER, OPTIONAL AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER, ANOTHER BATTERY

OR YOUR NOTEBOOK ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENT OPERATION OF YOUR NOTEBOOK BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY.

Page 58

- Lithium ion Battery

Recharging the Batteries

If you want to know the condition of the Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 51 for mor e information on Sleep mode and shutdown

procedure)

• BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND

OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. OPTICAL DRIVE OR HARD DRIVE USAGE MAY ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE. THE BATTERY CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED AS THE BATTERY AGES. IF YOUR BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW QUICKLY, YOU SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.

• UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW IT MAY BE ILLEGAL TO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES BY PUTTING THEM IN THE TRASH. TAKE CARE OF OUR

ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY FOR DETAILS ON RECYCLING OR DISPOSING OF BATTERIES. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THIS INFORMATION ELSEWHERE, CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE AT 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-

838-5487)

AKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR AND THE BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR ICON ON THE STATUS INDICATOR PANEL LIGHT.

SING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES OR FREQUENT EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE ACCESSES MAY PREVENT CHARGING COMPLETELY.

Page 59

- Lithium ion Battery

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, the Battery Level indicator will glow red. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. Your notebook will then go into Sleep mode to try and protect your data for as long as possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be lost once the system reaches this point.

Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your system while an adapter is charging the battery.

Replacing the Battery

With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged.

Swapping batteries when additional power source is not available

To swap batteries in your battery compartment when you don’t have another power source available (such as an AC Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy steps: (Figure 21)

1 Have a charged battery ready to install. 2 Shut down your notebook.

• ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK

INTO SLEEP MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR

UTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

• WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE

YOUR NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE, ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.

• USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES SUCH AS A MODEM OR FREQUENT DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM ACCESSES MAY PREVENT CHARGING COMPLETELY.

Restoring Your System Image and Software

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc (along with other applicable media such as application discs) before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the instructions in the “Saving Your Factory Image” and “Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs” sections of this chapter.

Saving and Recovering Your Factory and System Images

Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other important procedures, such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system images, managing your images, and restoring the partitions on a hard drive.

Saving your Factory Image

When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.

• IN ORDER TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS, MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES, AND BURN APPLICATION MEDIA AND BOOTABLE DISCS YOU

MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNALLY CONNECTED WRITABLE DVD DRIVE.

• IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COPY YOUR FACTORY IMAGE TO REMOVABLE MEDIA (E.G., DVD DISCS). FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT

IN AN INABILITY TO RESTORE THE IMAGE AT A FUTURE DATE.

• WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE DVD-R OR DVD+R DISCS FOR YOUR BACKUP, BUT SUPPORTED MEDIA* FOR IMAGE BACKUPS INCLUDE:

FOR FACTORY IMAGE, APPLICATION DATA, AND BOOTABLE DISC: DVD-R/+R. FOR USER-CREATED BACKUP IMAGE: DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW, DVD-DL.

* DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.

DUE TO CERTAIN LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, SOME THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY USING THE APPLICATION

MEDIA BUNDLED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.

Page 91

- Restoring Your System Image and Software

To make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs, you will need several blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are recommended) to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.

Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs

Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image, Application Disc(s), or Bootable Disc.

1 Launch My Recovery from desktop icon 2 Select [Manage/Create]-> [Manage Backup Images].

The Backup Images menu displays a list from which you can choose which type of disc you want to burn: Bootable Disc, Application Discs, or Recovery Disc.

3 Select

Recovery Disc

, then click [Make DVD].

4 Confirm that the # box has “2” (Note that in some cases the box may display a larger number for the factory image,

depending upon its size.)

5 The message “Recovery Disc #1 will be created. Enter your comments and the number of media on the DVD”. Click

[YES] to burn the Factory Image.

6 While the copy is being made, a “Writing to the media screen displays a progress bar. When the copy is complete,

a dialog will appear informing you of the successful completion of the backup.

7 Repeat the process for the remaining images on disc (Bootable Disc and Application Discs). The number of images

available may vary depending on your system model; some models do not have the applications loaded on the hard drive.

• SOME CONFIGURATIONS OF CERTAIN LIFEBOOK MODELS DO NOT HAVE APPLICATIONS LOADED ON THE HARD DRIVE; RATHER, THEY ARE AVAILABLE

AT THE FUJITSU SUPPORT SITE FOR DOWNLOAD. PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN READING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.

• ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.

Page 92

- Restoring Your System Image and Software

Recovering Your Factory Image

In the event you need to restore your original Factory Image, perform the following steps. Note that there may be some third-party applications that need to be installed from the application media bundled with your system.

In order to recover your Factory Image, perform the steps outlined in “Running Recovery and Utility from hard disk”.

Backing Up a System Image

Optional Step: Launch the Fujitsu Bonus Apps utility from your desktop, and select the components you wish to

install.

User-Configured System Backups: On your desktop, there is a [MyRecovery] icon that allows you to make backups of your current system image either to another location on your hard drive or on removable media. A system image is the configuration of your C: drive at a particular point of time. You may want to make system image backups occasionally in order to have points to which you can return without having to go all the way back to the Factory Image.

By default, system images are saved in the MyRecovery folder (either on D:\ or external hard drive, depending on your hardware type).

1 Click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop. The My Recovery screen will appear (See Figure 38). Note that the

screen illustrated may vary, depending upon your system configuration.)

2 Click the [Backup] button on the MyRecovery screen. 3 On the next screen that appears, you can enter up to 200 characters of information about the backup file. This

information will help you to identify the image at a later date.

ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.

My Recovery

Page 93

- Restoring Your System Image and Software

- Restoring Your System Image and Software

Managing Your Backup Images

With the MyRecovery tool you can also make copies of backup images, archive them on DVD, or delete them from your hard drive.

1 To begin, click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop. 2 Click the [Manage/Create] button in the MyRecovery window. 3 When the MyRecovery Manager window appears, click [Manage Backup Images]. 4 In the next window, a list of your backup images appears. Below the list are three buttons allowing you to [Make

DVD], [Copy], or [Delete] your backup images.

5 Select an image title from the list, then click the action button you would like to perform. 6 Note that you need to have an external disk drive connected for the [Copy] button to be enabled. If you elect to

copy the image, you will be prompted to enter the destination. If you are ready to copy, click [OK] to proceed. A progress screen appears while the backup copy is being made.

7 Note that if you copy an image to an external hard drive, both the original and the copy will appear in the [Backup

Images] window with identical names, dates, and file sizes, but with the different drive letter to distinguish them. Before you select [Make DVD], make sure you have a recordable DVD drive connected and blank DVDs available.

Using the Recovery and Utility Tools

The Recovery and Utility tools consist of a variety of tools that will help you recover your Factory Image, recover system images, and delete the data from your hard disk.

Methods for accessing the utilities

Recovery and Utility Tools are preinstalled in a hidden partition by the factory, or they can be accessed by using the bootable disc. Please note that you can delete Recovery and Utility tools from your hard disk drive if you modify the partitions. In this case you will not be able to use the hidden partition for booting to Recovery and Utility Tools, but you will still be able to boot from the Bootable Disc.
