Fujitsu P1630 Recovery Manual

1

Thank you for purchasing a Fujitsu computer. Fujitsu is committed to bringing you the best computing experience

with your new system.

This document outlines several procedures, such as making and restoring a system image, managing your

images, and using the recovery utilities.

When you purchased your new system, a copy of the Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition on your

hard disk drive. Having a copy of the system image available to you on the hard drive means that in the event of

system failure, you’ll be able to restore it to its original state (assuming you’re still able to access your hard drive).

Backing Up a System Image

User-Configured System Backups:

On your desktop, there is a

[My Recovery]

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 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.

6.

A graphic appears showing you how the image will be stored. Click [Next] button to start the backup.

7.

Click the [Execute] button.

8.

After the backup is complete, you will see a message saying “The image was created”. Click the [OK] button

to reboot the system.

Recovering a Backup Image

In the event you need to restore a backup image, perform the following steps. Note: There may be some third-party

applications that need to be installed from application media bundled with the system.
