Hi gentlemen,
I am a little curious. Normally I use Norton ghost to back up my pc's. On my nice and shining sony VGN-A295HP there was already a backup program installed. I followed the advise and made some recovery dvd¿s.
I still don¿t have to use them, but I am a little curious how it works.
Can I just boot from the dvd¿s and the recovery starts or do I have to use the F10 key during the boot?
Thanks Maurice
Hi
Welcome to the forum:smileyhappy:
You should be able to stick the disc in the machine and boot up from there.
Thanks for the welcome!
That sounds super! I think that this is one of the reasons I trusted on SONY.
As I said I am a little curious...
So I dont have to change anything in the bios (boot sequence?), it always looks for a bootable disc? When the laptop boots the disc, there will come a menu to restore the backup? Can I try it once just for fun (without restoring the backup)?
I heard about the F10 function. Is this the button to get in the BIOS settings?
Sorry for all the question, but the laptop gives me a lot of fun, and I want to know as much as I can...
Usually you have to make sure the boot sequence is correct, but once thats done it should work.
I heard about the F10 function. Is this the button to get in the BIOS settings?
Thought that was for the hard disk image - not for booting from DVD?
Ah, in which case I think it's the F2 key you hit.
