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 restoration, the following two conditions must be observed:

1. If you are restoring an individual partition, you need to have it your HDD. For example, if you restore disk D of your hard drive, you need to make sure that disk D is available on target drive.
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:

• Run disk check on the restored drive

On the Start menu click Run, and then type chkdsk X: /f where X is drive letter.

or

1. Disconnect and connect the device again (if you’re working with an external drive or flash drive)
2. Reboot the computer.

Note: To 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
