Hard Drive Restoration

After you have created a backup copy of your hard drive (or a partition of your hard drive) you can restore all information including data files and system settings. For successful restore of a hard drive or drive partition the following two conditions must be observed:

1. Make sure that the partition that you are going to restore exists on your Hard Drive. For example, if you restore disk D of your hard drive, you need to make sure that disk D is available on your computer.
2. After you have restored the hard drive, at first you won't see any changes. To make the new settings take effect, perform one of the following actions:
   1. Run disk check on the restored drive;
   On the Start menu click Run, and then type "chkdsk X: /f" where X is drive letter.
   1. Disconnect and connect the device again (if you're working with an external drive or flash drive);
   2. Reboot the computer.

Note: To make Handy Backup perform disk check automatically, you can create a batch file with the above command and enable its execution after completing the task. For more details, refer to Setting Pre- and Post- Actions
