If you select the
“No Profile”
option, you will need to create one or several new profiles as when you
started the computer for the first time. However, all personal data that was stored on the computer will
be retained.
•
If you restore a
specific user profile
, your computer will display the Windows® desktop of that
specific profile in the same state as it was before the recovery, but note that redundant program
shortcuts in the Start menu will be removed.
In both cases all your personal data and settings will be retained in the
Documents and Settings
folder on the hard disk drive.
3. The next screen displays a summary of your selected options. Click on
Next
to launch recovery.
Note
There may be a delay the first time Windows® restarts after the recovery process. This delay depends on
the amount of data that must be retrieved from the selected account.
4. After the Partial Recovery process has been completed and if you have used default Windows® settings,
you may retrieve your data in the following locations:
•
Your Documents and Settings:
C:\documents and Settings\[Chosen User Name]\...
•
Applications:
C:\Program Files\[Application Name]\...
•
Other files:
You can use the Windows® Search Engine to find other files.
5. Finally, reinstall software titles you wish to use.
If you wish to perform a Partial Recovery:
You should consider deleting items on the desktop and in the Start Menu, and also folders for
applications you no longer wish to use.
DO NOT delete folders for software that you did not originally install yourself – they may
contain important Windows® files.
