What is Xpress Recovery ?

Xpress Recovery is a utility used to back up and restore an OS partition.

If the hard drive is not working properly, the user can restore the drive to

its original state.

1. Supports FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS formats

2. Must be connected to the IDE1 Master

3. Allows installation of only one OS

4. Must be used with an IDE hard disk supporting HPA

5. The first partition must be set as the boot partition. When the boot partition is backed up,

please do not alter its size.

6. Xpress Recovery is recommended when using Ghost to return boot manager to NTFS

format.

How to use the Xpress Recovery

1. Boot from CD-ROM (BMP Mode)

Enter the BIOS menu, select "Advanced BIOS Feature" and set to boot from CD-ROM. Insert the
