StandbyDisk Solo RB V2.1
....Continued from Previous Page...
There are two ways to start RescueBoot *.
1) Start from [Start Menu] à [(All) Programs] à [StandbyDisk Solo RB] à [RescueBoot].
2) When you have encountered a system disaster and your system is not booting, restart your machine by pushing the power or reset button. Push down the Alt key and the Caps-lock key together when the system indicates "Protected by StandbyDisk Solo" on its console.
If you successfully triggered RescueBoot you will see a Rescue Boot Menu during the booting process which offers two choices: Normal Boot or Rescue Boot.
After choosing RescueBoot, by typing “1” on your keyboard, the system comes alive and you will see one or two extra messages explaining the change in status after the RescueBoot. You will see these messages every time you re-boot with or without a RescueBoot until you make a VolumeUpdate again. Before doing that, you will want to make sure your system is working correctly and also that you have access to all the files you need.
* The RescueBoot Menu will also automatically appear after three consecutive boot failures.
Step 3: VolumeUpdate after RescueBoot
After RescueBoot, if you think you have important work (files) still on the damaged system area and now stored in the StandbyArea, the upgraded version of this software helps to give you access to these files. The upgrade can be applied even after a problem occurs and after you have made a RescueBoot, but you can only have access to the damaged system until you run VolumeUpdate again. Of course, instead you can continue without upgrading as long as you do not need the selective file recovery function and the other features of StandbyDisk Solo.
After a complete check-up of your running system in the CurrentArea, it is time to activate a VolumeUpdate again. When complete, the two areas will be the same and your system will again be ready for recovering from future software problems.
