In the future, if the system is not working properly, the entire system can be restored to the state at the time of backup. This function looks good, but in Windows XP and previous systems, there are not many people who have actually used this function. The reason: the restore needs to be done after the system is started. —— However, when the system can not be started When it is most needed to restore, it becomes empty talk because the system cannot be started. To this end, the first thing many computer enthusiasts do after installing the system is to turn off this feature. Over time, many friends and users do not know that this feature exists. Windows 7 still retains this feature, but I believe that everyone will be reluctant to close it, because it can restore the system by repairing the disc — & mdash; completely solve the problem of the first restore after the start.

1) create a restore point by default, Windows7 will keep you automatically create a restore point, for example, when you install hardware drivers, when you install some software, the system is when the important settings. It can also be created manually. Generally, if you think that some operations may affect the stability and security of the system, such as installing trial software and updating the unofficial driver, you need to manually create a restore point. The specific method is as follows: (1) At the "Start" menu, right-click "Computer" and select the "Properties" command. Next, click “System Protection” from the window that opens. Here, we can observe that the "protect" status of the partition where Windows 7 is installed is "Open", that is, when the restore point is created manually or automatically, the partition is protected. In general, it is sufficient as long as this partition is in a protected state. (2) Click the “Create” button to enter the name of the restore point in the dialog box that opens, and then click the “Create” button to create a restore point manually. Note: The name of the restore point should not be entered for convenience. It should have certain mnemonic significance. For example: “XX time is installed XX”, “XX time is configured with XX” and so on. In this way, you can choose a restore point to restore the system.

2) Restore Settings System Restore is a very important and convenient feature. The biggest advantage is that it will not damage the user's files, such as my documents, my pictures, my music, etc. To make it work better, you can make some simple settings. By default, the system restore function only monitors the partition where Windows 7 is installed. If you want to monitor other partitions, please select, click the “Configure” button, and select “Restore system settings and previous versions of files” in the dialog box that opens. ; Here, you can also control the hard disk space occupied by the restore function — — drag the corresponding slider, generally, you can choose about 10c /o. To turn off System Restore, simply select "Turn off system protection" here. After, or at some point

3) with the repair system restore point if you clearly feel the system is not working properly because of a particular operating system has been caused by malicious software, but also the use of the original Fixing that is undoubtedly a pretty good choice. Repairing the computer with a restore point can be done under the Windows 7 window or by repairing the CD.

4) Under the Windows 7 window Click on “System Restore” in the dialog box. Next, select an existing restore point and click the “Next” button. In this step, we must pay attention to the selection of the restore point, because the program installed after the restore point will not run, and some settings that we have manually performed on the system will no longer take effect. To solve this problem, please pay attention to the name of the restore point to distinguish, or click "Scan the affected program" to view, and strive to find a balance between the recovery system and try to ensure that the installed program and settings are effective.

5) Use the repair CD to restore the repair CD (including the installation CD, security mode, etc.), after starting the computer until the interface appears, click & ldquo; system restore & rdquo; can, after the operation and The Windows7 window is exactly the same. 2. Image Repair Image Repair is one of the new features of Windows 7, and it works similarly to the well-known Ghost. When creating, the entire partition is backed up as an image file, and when it is repaired, the image file is released to the specified hard disk partition.

Creating an image is done under the Windows 7 window, and restoring the system with an image can only be done by repairing the disc. This design concept takes care of both the ease of operation and the applicability. Creating an image is generally performed when the system is working properly. It is not necessary to use a repair disc to implement it, but it is simple and convenient to operate in the system window. In general, image restoration is mainly used to completely repair a damaged system, which is equivalent to re-installation, but the software installed before the image was created and the settings made to the system can be completely preserved. When the system is unable to start, and when it is most needed, the repair CD comes forward effectively to solve the drawbacks that other recovery measures (such as file recovery) cannot be implemented because the system cannot be started.

1) Creating an image Creating an image is done under the Windows 7 window. (1) Click “All Programs & Rarr;Maintain & Rarr; Backup or Restore & Rarr; Create System Image> to run the Backup Wizard in the "Start" menu. (2) Choose where to save the backup. You can choose a shared location on a local hard drive or a removable hard drive on a partition, DVD, or LAN. Tip: To ensure the convenience of recovery, it is recommended to store the backup on the local hard disk. Backups cannot be stored in a partition where Windows 7 is installed. Only other partitions can be selected.

(3) Select which partitions to back up. By default, the partition where Windows 7 is installed will be selected and cannot be modified. In general, selecting these two partitions is sufficient. 4) Confirmation. In the next step, it will display the selected partitions to be backed up, the storage location of the backups, etc. in the form of a list. If it is correct, click “Start Backup", otherwise, click the back button in the upper left corner to reset. When completed, a file with the extension VHD is generated.

Tip: Because Windows 7 installation partition files occupy than larger, more for the 10GB or above, the time it takes to back up too long. (5) Hidden partitions. In this example, the image file is stored in a partition on the local hard disk. To ensure the security of the image file, you can hide this partition. In the "Start" menu, right-click on "Computer" and select the "Manage" command. In the left window of the window that opens, expand “save →disk management”. Then right-click on the backup partition in the right window and select the “Change drive letter and path” command. Click the “Delete” button in the dialog that opens.

Note: This operation will not delete the partition, just delete the partition's drive letter (such as: E drive, F drive), so that it can not be displayed under the "Computer" window. In the future, when you use the image to recover your computer, you can display the partition letter: right-click the partition with the drive letter deleted, select “change the drive letter and path command ”, and then click “Add&rdquo in the dialog box that opens. ; button, then choose one.
