This time: Automated System
Recovery
The Windows XP Automated System Recovery Feature allows you to
boot into a computer that has experienced catastrophic failure.
ASR works by installing a working copy of Windows XP and
then restoring from a backup of your OS that you made when
everything was working perfectly. This backup doesn't happen
automatically, so you have to do it yourself.
Here's how:
Proceed like this:
- Click Start and then click the Run command.
- In the Run dialog box, type ntbackup in the Open text box
and click OK.
- In the Backup Utility, click the Automated System
Recovery Wizard button. If this is the first time you started
the ntbackup program, tell the Wizard that you don't want to
see the Wizard again, and then restart the ntbackup program.
- The Automated System Recovery Wizard appears. Click Next
to continue.
- On the Backup Destination page, type in a path for the
backup file. Be careful! Don't use the C:\ drive or it might
not work.
- Click Next.
- Read the text on the final page of the Wizard. Make sure
you have a floppy disk available for the Wizard to write
recovery information to.
- Click Finish.
- All system files on the partition that contains the
operating system are backed up.
- Click Close on the Backup Progress dialog box after the
backup is completed.
- Then close the backup utility.
If you find you can't start you system because a disk died or
you installed something that prevents the operating system from
starting, you can boot the Windows XP CD and then press F2
when the statement as the bottom of the screen asks you to
press F2 to start ASR.
