Maxtor OneTouch IV 118
Restoring Your System With
SafetyDrill
™
SafetyDrill™ allows you to save copies on your OneTouch drive of all partitions on your PC
system boot drive so that you can restore your system in the event of a system failure. You
can create a SafetyDrill copy whenever you like and save as many copies as will fit in the
space you allocate for them on your OneTouch drive.
SafetyDrill consists of two components:
1. A Maxtor SafetyDrill Recovery CD, which is included with your OneTouch drive. It
contains a system reboot program that enables your system to reboot and access your
OneTouch 4 drive after a system failure. DO NOT LOSE THIS CD.
You should try booting your system with the Maxtor SafetyDrill Recovery CD to make
sure it works properly.
2. A SafetyDrill copy of all partitions on your system boot drive, stored on your OneTouch
drive so that you can use it to restore your system in the event of a system failure.
Note: DrivePass must be disabled in order to restore your system from a SafetyDrill copy.
Creating SafetyDrill Copies
A SafetyDrill copy is a snapshot of your complete PC system boot drive. You can make a
new copy whenever you wish and save multiple copies or overwrite older versions with
newer versions.
Note: Do NOT encrypt SafetyDrill copies in your Encrypted Folder.
