Software Updates and Recovery

Using System Restore

The System Restore utility enables you to safeguard your system

files and settings by using restore points, which are restorable,

benchmark “snapshots” of your application, driver, and operating

system files.

The notebook sets restore points at regular intervals and may set

additional restore points when you change your personal settings

or add software or hardware.

Manually setting additional restore points provides additional

protection for your system files and settings. It is recommended

that you manually set restore points

■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.

■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.

Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For

example, restoring your system software to an earlier time will

not affect documents or e-mails that you saved after that time. All

System Restore procedures are reversible.

Setting a Restore Point

To set a system restore point manually:

1. Select Start > Help and Support > System Restore.

2. Select Create a restore point, and then follow the

instructions on the screen.

Restoring to a Restore Point

To restore the notebook to a restore point:

1. Make sure the notebook is connected to reliable external

power through the AC adapter.

2. Select Start > Help and Support > System Restore.

3. Select Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then

follow the instructions on the screen.
