Restoring a system partition from external media (CD/DVD)

Let’s assume that your computer fails to boot because of a virus attack or corruption of some system critical files. But

you’ve got a backup of your system partition on a bootable DVD disc. That’s just enough to easily get your system back

on track again.

To restore your system partition from a backup image located on CD/DVD when the current OS is down, please do the

following:

1. Insert a CD/DVD disc containing the previously prepared backup image into a CD/DVD drive (the BIOS must be

enabled to boot the system from the CD/DVD device).

This scenario implies that you have got a bootable archive on your CD/DVD.

In case the backup image is stored on several CD/DVD disks, please insert the first one.

2. Restart the computer.

3. In the boot menu select Normal Mode to use the Linux recovery environment (more preferable) or Safe Mode

to use the PTS DOS recovery environment (in case you’ve got problems with Linux). Moreover you’ve got the

option to boot into the Low-Graphics Safe Mode (PTS DOS safe mode) to cope with a serious hardware

incompatibility. In this case, only the minimal set of drivers will be included, like hard disk, monitor, and

keyboard drivers. This mode has simple graphics and a simple menu.
