16 Recovery English Recovery If you are having trouble with your computer, and the frequently asked questions (see page 52) do not help, you can 'recover' your computer - i.e. return it to an earlier state. This section describes the recovery tools available on your computer. Acer provides Acer Recovery Management, which allows you to create a recovery backup, a drivers and applications backup, and to start recovery options, either using Windows tools, or the recovery backup. Note: Acer Recovery Management is only available with a preinstalled Windows operating system. Important: We recommend that you create a Recovery Backup and Drivers and Applications Backup and as soon as possible. In certain situations a full recovery will require a USB recovery backup. Creating a recovery backup To reinstall from a USB storage drive, you must first create a recovery backup. The recovery backup includes the entire original contents of your computer's hard drive, including Windows and all factory-loaded software and drivers. Using this backup will restore your computer to the same state as when you purchased it, while giving you an option to retain all settings and personal data. Note: Make sure you have a USB drive with a capacity of at least 16 GB. 1. From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Acer Recovery Management in the list of apps.
