Hard Disk Backup Function (Recover Pro)
The Recover Pro creates a backup area (storage area) on the hard disk to back up (store) the hard disk data, and re-
stores the backup data to its original location when it is lost or corrupted by operational errors or other factors. You do
not need external media or peripheral devices to back up or restore hard disk data on this computer.
At purchase, the Recover Pro is not installed. Install using the instructions below.
The Recover Pro cannot back up or restore data correctly if a hard disk problem occurs during data backup or re-
storing. If an error occurs due to an unexpected malfunction, incorrect operation, or other reason while data is being
restored, the hard disk data (data before restoration) may be lost.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damage suffered (including loss of data) as a
result of the use of this function.
The Recover Pro provides 3 types of backup as follows:
Quick Backup: Scheduled backup of the updated data
File Backup: File backup at file save and change
Complete Backup: Backup of the entire data on the internal hard disk
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Here, we will explain the procedures for installation, complete backup (backing up hard disk contents in case Windows can-
not be booted), and complete restore (recovering the hard disk data to its condition at the time of the complete backup).
For further information, refer to the software’s online manual ( page 20).
ꢁ
CAUTION
All operations should be executed with the AC adaptor connected. Do not turn the power off while operations are
in progress. If the power is turned off while installation, backup, or restore operations are in progress, these opera-
tions may not function properly, and it may be impossible to start Windows. Also, do not press any keys or slide any
switches, including hot keys.
ꢀ
When restarting the computer, the message “Check file system on C:” may appear. Follow the on-screen instruc-
tions. Do not skip the check process.
Make sure you allow enough space on the hard disk when choosing settings during installation. To change these
settings you must reinstall Recover Pro.
ꢀ
ꢀ
To execute Complete Backup reliably, we recommend performing [Typical] installation in the following cases.
Hard disk with a single partition
Immediately after reinstalling software (when more than half of the entire space of the hard disk is available)
ꢂ
ꢂ
(
ꢁ
page 22)
Be sure to use the internal hard disk drive to create the backup area. Never use disk or device other than the inter-
nal hard disk drive.
Some software (security software, backup software, encryption software, or hard disc accessible specific software,
etc.) may be incompatible with Recover Pro.
ꢀ
ꢀ
For further information, refer to:
When using Personal Secure Drive (

Hard Disk Data Erase Utility
When disposing the computer or transferring the ownership, erase all hard disk data in order to avoid data leakage.
Even if you erase the data or initialize the hard disk using normal Windows commands, the data can be read with
some special software. Use the hard disk data erase utility to erase the data completely.
Note that transferring of the ownership without uninstalling the commercial software will be a violation of the software’s
license agreement.
The hard disk data erase utility erases data using an overwriting method, but there is a possibility that due to mal-
functions or other operational errors, data may not be completely erased. There are also specialized devices that
may be able to read data that has been erased using this method. If you need to erase highly confidential data, we
recommend that you contact a company that specializes in this process. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will
bear no responsibility for losses or damages suffered as a result of the use of this utility.
CAUTION
When the hard disk contains the Recover Pro backup data, the Recover Pro backup area is lost as well.
