sensitive help, available at a touch of the ^BF1^B key.

Whenever you are using a dialog box and you want instructions
on how to proceed, press ^BF1^B. When you've got a menu pulled
down, you can move the highlight to any item and press ^BF1^B for
help on that item.

When you are first getting familiar with a Tool, you will
find it helpful to select the ^b[Index]^b button at the bottom of
any help screen. It displays a list of topics, at least
one of which provides background and introductory material.

ZA dialog box is any screen or panel that accepts some sort of
input. With the mouse, dialog boxes are a breeze to use; just
point to anything and ^bClick^b.

With the keyboard, there are a few things to learn, but the 
two basics rules are:

key. Press ^BAlt^B and then the accelerator key to directly
access a menu. Furthermore, each item within a menu has its
own accelerator. Press that key to directly execute the menu
command. Or, use ^C1A and ^C1B to move from menu to menu. Use
 and  to highlight an item within a menu and then press Enter
to select it. Press ^bEsc^b if you change your mind. 

In the example above, you can press ^bAlt^b+^BT^B to access the menu
and then ^BD^B to execute the Drive command. In help, you'll see
this keychord sequence referred to in the form ^bAlt^b+^bT^b,^BD^B. Keep
the ^bAlt^b key pressed while you type the first letter. Hold or
release, as convenient, for the second letter.

In the example above, you could also just press the ^BAlt^B+^BF1^B
shortcut without using the menus at all.

As you walk the menu, for in-depth help on that item, just
press ^bF1^b. Or press ^bF1^b at any time and then press ^BI^B to get
to the Help Index.

/	An accidental use of the FORMAT command has always been
considered the WORST POSSIBLE data disaster. But with
UnFormat, it is often possible to recover ALL the data on the
disk. If you have used the ^hImage^h utility, UnFormat will
CERTAINLY recover ALL of your data ── What a relief!

When DOS formats a hard disk and when you use ^hNorton Safe Format^h
to format a floppy disk, the data area of the disk does not get
wiped. This makes it possible to recover data lost by an
accidental format operation.

  ^BNote:^B On FLOPPY DISKETTES formatted by DOS's FORMAT command,
  there is little hope of recovering any data. Unformat
  will try, and it will get some data if you pulled the
  disk out partway through the format. Otherwise, you're
  out of luck.

  It is best to use Norton's Safe Format to format a
  diskette; this leaves the data in a recoverable state
  and, as a bonus, it's much faster.

UnFormat is fully automatic. Just read each dialog and reply
by pressing ^BEnter^B or ^BEsc^B. Press ^BF1^B for additional help along
the way.

^hUnformatting a disk^h

.UnFormat will recover a hard disk or floppy diskette that has
been accidentally formatted. Unformat can also rebuild a disk
that has been destroyed by a virus or corrupted due to a power
failure.

Although UnFormat is almost completely automatic, you have the
power to do damage to your disks. For this reason, there are
numerous cautionary screens to guide you on your way. 

To UnFormat a disk:
  * ^hSelect the drive^h to unformat.
  * Tell UnFormat whether or not you have used ^hImage or Mirror^h.
  * If ^hImage or Mirror data is found^h, tell UnFormat which to use.
  * Determine if you want a ^hfull or partial restore^h.
  * After the UnFormat is completed, run the ^hNorton Disk Doctor^h
    to clean up your disk.

  ^BNote:^B If you have accidentally formatted a disk and have not
  used Image or Mirror to create a snapshot of your system area,
  you can still recover much of your data. When UnFormat is
  finished, the subdirectories directly under the root will be
  called DIR0, DIR1, and so on, and all filenames in the root 
  directory will be lost. You can use the Manual UnErase 
  procedure of ^hUnErase^h to recover these files.

^BRelated Topics^B
^B─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^B
^hHow UnFormat works^h

'Pick a drive to recover after a FORMAT. Use ^B^B and ^B^B to move
the highlight and press ^BEnter^B or click on the desired drive
with a mouse.

If you pick a diskette drive, make certain that the target
diskette is in the drive before continuing.

^hPrevious use of IMAGE.EXE or MIRROR.COM^h
!^hImage^h is a Norton Utility which preserves important system
areas of a disk in a place where it can be found in the case
of a data disaster. Many folks use Image in their AUTOEXEC.BAT
file, or in a "Shutdown" batch at the end of the day (or
before doing a massive "spring cleaning").

Mirror is a utility provided with DOS 5.0 that performs a similar
function.

If Image or Mirror has been used or if they ^Bmight just possibly^B
have been used at sometime in the past, select ^b[Yes]^b.

If you are dead certain that Image or Mirror has never been used
on the target disk, you can skip one of the time-consuming tests
that UnFormat makes.

If you did not use Image or Mirror, UnFormat will still recover
all of your subdirectories and some or all of the files they
contained (you may not recover files that were listed in the
Root Directory).

^BRelated Topics^B
^B─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^B
^hImage or Mirror Information Found^h

When this dialog appears, you can breathe a sigh of relief. It
means that you will recover all the data on the disk as it was
the last time you ran Image.

There are often two versions of the Image data on the disk. 
In that case, you will nearly always want to pick the ^b[Recent]^b
version.

  ^bNote^b: It can happen that the ^B[Previous]^B version is the best
  choice. For instance, if you accidentally formatted
  drive D: at the end of the day, and then the next
  morning your AUTOEXEC.BAT file ran IMAGE.EXE, you would
  want to use the Image snapshot taken ^Bbefore^B the format.

^BRelated Topics^B
^B─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^B
^hFull or Partial Restore^h
When UnFormat finds Image or Mirror information on a disk, it
offers you this choice. In most cases, it's best to go ahead
with the ^b[Full]^b restore.

A full restore will overwrite the current contents of the
system areas of the disk (the Boot Record, File Allocation
Table, and Root Directory), thus "setting the clock back" to
the time the Image snapshot was taken.

You might choose ^b[Partial]^b if ALL of the following are true:

 ^b*^b The Image data is rather old and new files have been added
   and deleted since the snapshot was taken.
 ^b*^b You were able to stop a destructive FORMAT operation before
   it finished. In that case, part of the Root Directory or
   FAT might be recoverable.
 ^b*^b You are an expert user of the Norton Utilities UnErase
   and DiskEdit programs and you think there is some chance of
   recovering data manually that would be overwritten by 
   restoring the Image data.

^BRelated Topics^B
^B─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^B
^hPartial Restore^h
This dialog selects options when you choose a partial restore
of Image or Mirror data.

This option is useful only when Image data is out-of-date and
you have the expertise to recover some information manually.

  ^bWarning!^b: If you don't know what the Boot Record, File
  Allocation Table and Root Directory are, you should not use
  the ^bPartial Restore^b dialog. Press ^BEsc^B and start over.

Here's a case where an expert might do a partial restore:

   After using the Norton Utilities DiskEdit program to rebuild
   a destroyed Partition Table, you might wish to have UnFormat
   restore only the Boot Record, so that you can go back into 
   DiskEdit and it will understand the disk somewhat better.
   This will just keep your options open a little longer.
The Disk Map shown during the UnFormat sequence animates the
action as UnFormat searches the disk for Image information and,
later, for directories.

It is a representation of your disk in which each block
character represents some arbitrary-sized piece of data.
The size is shown in the ^bLegend^b at the bottom right of the
screen.

displays a drive window, just as does Norton Desktop, but it
shows only files which have been deleted. To recover a deleted
file, just highlight it and select the UnErase button.
Norton Disk Doctor examines your disks and warns you if it
finds problems. If any are found, Disk Doctor will correct
them for you.

You should run this program periodically to keep an eye on
potential problems which may develop in your file system.
Image is a special program that comes with the Norton Desktop
that takes a "snapshot" of the system area of your disk. Then,
if you inadvertently format your hard disk, UnFormat can use
this information to recover your data. UnErase also uses the
information to help recover deleted files.

For maximum protection, make sure the line

   IMAGE

is in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This way, the snapshot is taken
every time you start your computer. The latest information will
always be available should, perish the thought, it ever be
needed.
A format operation initializes a disk with the intention of
preparing it to receive data. Norton Safe Format provides safety
from accidental data loss.

It is also useful for doing a quick reformat of diskettes which
have been formatted previously (this operation is blazingly
fast). Reformatting is quite safe -- if you accidentally reformat
a diskette that contains important data, you can recover all of
the data.

Safe Format is used by the Format Diskette command on the Disk
menu of the Norton Desktop.
