Creating Recovery Options
Introduction:
Sometimes the valuable information in
your system may be lost due to system crash. In order to recover
the valuable information from the system the recovery options are
much helpful to get back his information. Sometimes people delete
their files out of hesitation and then need the file back, at that
time it is usually best to search in recycle bin. Even if he
deleted from the recycle bin, the file can likely be recovered
using a 3rd party utility of some type. Because
deleting a file from the disk means the operating system just mark
the sectors as free so that it is used. So before another file
return to the destination we can recover the deleted files. For
that a lot of software is available in the market such as system
mechanic, get data back and much more.
Sometimes installing some critical
software makes the system panic. In that situation the system
cannot able to boot normally. To overcome this following steps are
useful:
First restart the system and get into
safe mode by pressing F8. There uninstalling the software which
causes the crash relieves the system to boot normally.
Sometimes the registry settings may
not revert and still it refuses to boot normally. To recover this
windows gives a build-in system restore point. This utility can be
launched by
start -> Run and type
Msconfig. This launches a dialog box, Select Launch system
restore. This launches a wizard system restore. There
we can able to create a system restore point or Restore
my computer to an earlier time. Select the Restore my
computer to an earlier time, and select next, which
gives a calendar where we can find some set of dates, marked where
the restore points are available. Select the date where the system
to be restored and select next which confirms the action
and the system will be restarted and restored to the selected date
settings.
To set the restore point click
start -> Run and type Msconfig. This launches a dialog
box, Select Launch system restore, there select create a
system restore point and click next, which asks the restore point
description and click on create creates the restore point for the
selected time. Then at any time it can be restored to the selected
restoration point.
Some third party tools like
RESTORE IT is used to restore the whole partition to a
restoration point. This software takes a separate disk space for
backing up the whole partition and it can be restored during
system startup. So if there is problem in getting into windows we
can easily restore it to the fresh installation state. But this
will lead to loss of information stored in the recovered partition
including My Documents and desktop. Win rescue, System Restore are
some of the programs available to recover system from crash.
In Windows Vista a set of tools
called Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
helps to recover from serious errors which may prevent windows
from booting successfully. For Vista WinRE must be installed and
it can be accessed by pressing F8.
This contains
Startup Repair - Fixes boot
errors in windows startup process.
System Restore - Restores the
system to a previous working state or restore point using windows
shadow copy service.
CompletePC Restore - restore
the complete PC from the disk image stored in the disk.
Command Prompt - allows full
control to the file system.
These are the options used to recover
windows from the serious booting or some critical problems causes
panic.
