8-2

Overview

This section describes how to prepare your computer for recovery in the event the system becomes unstable.

You can perform a system recovery using one of the following system images:

• A clean factory default image.

• A user-generated image created from a fully configured, fully set up system.

Before you perform a system recovery, set up the system environment.

Setting Up the Recovery Environment

To set up the recovery environment on a V2426A computer, prepare a USB drive that has at least 4 GB of

memory and a copy of the recovery suite.

The following lists the major steps in the recovery procedure:

1. Copy the recovery programs and system image file on to the USB drive. Set up the drive as a live-drive

system with an ISO image of the boot environment.

2. Reboot the system and configure the BIOS to boot the recovery system from the USB port.

3. An image of the current software system will be created on the USB drive. The recovery environment will

use this image when restoring the system.

4. Reboot the system again and the BIOS is returned to its original state.

Setting Up a Factory Default Recovery Image

Step 1: Preparing the USB drive

1. Load the software DVD that came with your V2426A computer and execute tuxboot-windows-23.exe in

the \recovery\

folder.

2. Select Pre Downloaded and click the ellipsis (…) button to browse the file system and locate the boot

environment’s ISO image.
