How
To Fix Your PC If It Crashes
If you don’t have your data backed up on a
daily basis, you are yourself and your precious work in danger!
It is inevitable that a hard drive will crash. It happens to
everyone. Why do you thin your computer is packed with the
Restoration CD in the first place? You should expect it because
it’s only a matter of time.
It
is not really an overwhelming task to restore your computer
to its original settings. The only bad thing is that if you
have not previously backed up your data, you will be out of
luck! When it comes to any information you have added, like
files or programs, you will lose it all when you restore your
personal computer to the original settings. So, save yourself
a little heartache and lost time now and back up your data
before the computer crashes.
If you didn't receive a restoration
CD, you will have to pay
for a professional to make one using your computer’s information.
Be sure to keep your restoration in a safe place when you buy
a new personal computer. If you don’t buy your personal computer
brand new, be sure that where you do get it, you have the restoration
CD!
Your Restoration CD has been provided to you so that you can
get your computer up and running when it does crash. It will
absolutely erase any and all of the programs you have added.
The restoration disk will completely erase your hard drive
and restore the original factory settings on your personal
computer. Just make sure you back up your data before it crashes!
Basically, it will only take about 20 minutes of your time
to restore the original settings onto your personal computer.
The CD will strip your personal computer down to the basic
settings, so that you can begin to use it again. Once you get
it started again, you can always reinstall any of the programs
you still want/need. This is also true of any additional hardware
you installed after the original programs when you got the
computer.
Using the restoration CD is easy as pie! You will not really
need to do much, but will want to stick by the computer while
the CD does it’s job. The entire process won’t take more than
30 minutes and is very simple to perform. In order to restore
your computer’s original settings, do the following:
-
Turn the power on
-
Insert the restoration diskette (labeled Emergency Restoration
Disk)
-
Insert the restoration CD into the CDROM
-
Push in and release the reset button on your personal computer
(normally located at the bottom of the front of the computer)
After your computer begins again and starts to run the restoration
disk and CD, the CDROM will start to restore the original settings.
You can pull up a seat and stick around for the process, or
you can let it do it’s own thing and check in on the progress.
Once your restoration process is complete, you will be able
to reset your personal computer. All you have left to do at
this point is take out the Emergency Restoration diskette and
CD and hit the Enter key.
Once you hit the Enter key, your Windows program will begin
on it’s own. Windows should start normally at this point. Make
sure that you put your restoration CD and diskette in a safe
place, as you may need it again in the future. Also, make sure
you remember to back up your data from now on, too!
If for some reason you have trouble locating your personal
computer’s reset button, just turn off the power.
Wait for a couple of minutes and then turn it on again; follow
instructions once the computer is up and running again. You
may get a little frustrated with the process, but you don’t
have to worry. You can do it! Just follow the instructions
and you can have your PC up and running in no time!
