To correct this, take the drive to a Windows system right click on the drive, and select "Properties". On the "Tools" tab, select "Check now...". Click on "Start" and wait for the process to complete. It can take minutes or hours depending on the severity of the issue. Now turn off the Windows computer and disconnect the drive. You may have to repeat this process if the Rebit disk is failing.

This assumes the existing hard drive is in good condition.   MiKemp on "How do I recover my computer?" http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-recover-my-computer#post-51 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:29:11 +0000 MiKemp 51@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ Hi. For one of my customers, recovering a particular, very old, application, and the data for that application, is critical. Do I understand correctly that this application / data would be restored and completely usable, but only in the situation where a new drive is inserted into the machine that created the Rebit backup? Thanks...

Determined that adding an external monitor to the laptop worked great. Admin on "How do I recover my computer?" http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-recover-my-computer#post-12 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:50:01 +0000 Admin 12@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ The Rebit full-system recovery process, also known as bare metal recovery or BMR, is intended to recover your computer from the Rebit backup to a replacement hard disk drive. For example, if the system hard disk drive were to fail, you would be able to purchase a replacement hard disk drive and insert it into the computer. After performing the full-system recovery, the system hard disk drive would contain the files and other information necessary for it to boot into Windows with your applications and data intact. The basic steps for full-system recovery are <ol> <li>Power down the computer</li> <li>Replace the system hard disk drive if necessary</li> <li>Power up the computer</li> <li>Eject the CD-ROM/DVD drive tray and insert the Rebit Recovery CD</li> <li>Allow the computer to boot from the CD (it may be necessary to access the system settings, or BIOS, to boot from the CD)</li> <li>Once the computer is started and a graphical screen appears, connect the Rebit drive</li> <li>Follow the on-screen prompts to select various settings, including the day to which you want to recover the computer</li> <li>Allow the process to transfer the appropriate data from the Rebit drive to the system hard disk drive</li> <li>At the end, when prompted, click "Restart" to power cycle the computer</li> <li>If the CD-ROM drive does not eject the CD automatically, press the eject button as the computer starts up</li> <li>The computer should boot into Windows</li> </ol> Admin on "Booting from the Rebit Recovery CD" http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/booting-from-the-rebit-recovery-cd#post-11 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:41:42 +0000 Admin 11@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ Booting from the Rebit Recovery CD may be as simple as inserting the CD into the CD-ROM/DVD drive and powering on the computer. If the settings of the computer known as BIOS settings are configured to skip the CD-ROM/DVD drive, or if another device has priority, a change in settings may be necessary. To change BIOS settings, it may be necessary to find documentation included with your computer. In general, the sequence of steps is similar to the steps below. <ol> <li>Power off the computer (if necessary, press and hold the power button for 10+ seconds to force the power off)</li> <li>Power on the computer</li> <li>Typically, a text message appears at the bottom of the screen shortly after powering on. Repeatedly press and release the key indicated to access system settings or BIOS. If the appropriate key is not indicated, you may find an alternative strategy to work. In succession, press and release the keys F1, F2, F3, up through F12 and also the Esc and Del keys</li> <li>Typically, a text screen appears with items that can be selected by pressing the arrow keys. In some cases, the selections are oriented vertically with an item like "Boot order" or "Advanced CMOS Settings". In other cases, a menu of items may appear across the top of the screen with items like "Boot" and "Power". Select the item that controls the boot device order. If necessary, sequentially select each available option until you find the boot device order</li> <li>Follow the directions provided on-screen to move the CD-ROM device to the first boot priority position</li> <li>Press F10 or whatever key is indicated to Save and Exit</li> </ol> At this point, the computer should boot from the CD-ROM when it restarts.
