Win7 system restore, image repair Raiders

1. System Restore

Simply put, when we install application software, hardware drivers or system settings, Windows will first record the current system status Go down and form a backup. 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 is: restore needs to be done after system startup —— However, when the system can not When it is most needed to restore at startup, 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 — — completely solve the problem of the first restore after the start.

1) Creation of Restore Points

By default, Windows 7 automatically creates restore points in a timely manner, for example, when installing hardware drivers, when installing some software, and when making important settings to the system. . 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, as shown in FIG.

(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 destroy 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, System Restore only monitors the partition where Windows 7 is installed. If you want to monitor other partitions, select it in Figure 7, click the “Configure” button, and select it in the dialog that opens. “Restore system settings and previous versions of the file”. 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.

3) Repairing the system with a restore point

If you obviously feel that the system is not working properly because of an operation, or after a certain time, the system is attacked by malware. Using restore to fix it is definitely a pretty good choice. Repairing your computer with a restore point can be done in the Windows 7 window or by repairing the CD.

4) In the Windows 7 window

Click on the "System Restore" button in the Figure 7 dialog box. Next, select an existing restore point and click the “Next” button.

In this step, you 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

Start the computer with the repair CD (including the installation CD, security mode, etc.) until the interface of Figure 6 appears, click & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo; Yes, the future operation is exactly the same as in the Windows 7 window.

2. Image Repair

Image Repair is one of the new features of Windows 7, and it works like 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) Create an image

Create an image in the Windows 7 window.

(1) Click “All Programs & Rarr;Maintain →Backup or Restore →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.
