In order to restore Windows and data if Windows no longer loads, users are required to create a Disaster Recovery startup disk to startup the system in Disaster Recovery mode.
Three options are available to create a startup disk:
Virtual Partition: This feature will give you the option of entering Disaster Recovery before loading Windows and will appear when you start your computer.
USB Disk: Enter Genie Disaster Recovery using an external drive or flash disk.
ISO Image: Create an ISO image, which you can burn onto
a CD or DVD and boot from to enter Disaster Recovery.
From the Dashboard> Under Tools> Select Disaster Recovery startup disk, the Disaster Recovery Media dialog will appear.
Select Virtual Partition.
Click ok to begin the process.
From the Dashboard> Under Tools> Select Disaster Recovery startup disk, the Disaster Recovery Media dialog will appear.
Select USB Drive.
From the drop-down list, select the USB disk.
Click ok to
begin the process.
From the Dashboard> Under Tools> Select Disaster Recovery startup disk, the Disaster Recovery Media dialog will appear.
Select ISO image.
Browse for a location to save the ISO image.
Click ok to begin the process.
Notes
The creation of a startup disk requires 1-3 minutes to complete.
It is recommend to use an erased or blank disk as Genie Timeline will erase all contents before creating the startup disk.
Users can uninstall the Virtual Partition by accessing Disaster Recovery startup disk from Dashboard, or from Tools> Create Disaster Recovery startup disk.
