Restore the Image
Suppose disaster strikes: Your hard drive is trashed. Fortunately, restoring
your entire system using a system image is easy. You just have to open the
Windows Recovery Environment (“Windows Recovery Environment”):
If your PC is running, hold down the Shift key as you hit Restart.
(To find the Restart button, select → .)
If the PC won’t even start up, start up from a Windows DVD,
flash drive, or system repair disk. At the Windows Setup screen, hit
Next; then choose “Repair your computer.”
Once you see the “Choose an option” screen, click Troubleshoot, then
“Advanced options,” and then System Image Recovery. (You can see this
sequence of screens illustrated in Figure 15-8 on Figure 15-8.) In the
System Recovery Options dialog box that appears, choose an
administrator’s account. Enter the appropriate password, and then click
Continue.
On the next screen (Figure 16-2), choose “Use the latest available system
image (recommended),” and click Next. (Of course, if you have some weird
agenda, you can also choose an older system image using the other option
here.)
