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.</p> <p>The basic steps for full-system recovery are</p> <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> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/burning-rebit-recovery-iso-file#post-98 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:51:56 +0000 Dennis 98@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>How do I use the recovery cd image you have available for download? </p> 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/ <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <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> <p>At this point, the computer should boot from the CD-ROM when it restarts. </p>
