Restoring The System in Safe Mode
If Windows has a bigger problem that makes it unable to boot normally, you should
try to load it in Safe Mode. This is a kind of emergency mode that loads a minimum
but (almost always) stable Windows configuration.
1. First of all you need to restart your computer manually. Once the usual POST
messages have been displayed, your computer will load Windows. Now quickly
press and hold the [F8] key.
2. This will display a boot menu. Use the cursors keys to select Safe Mode and
press [Enter]. However, this process must be performed quickly. The menu includes
a visible countdown timer that launches the normal mode after a certain time.
3. Windows will boot in safe mode. As your computer will only load the most
necessary drivers and components, the screen display will be very large and with
unusual colors. This is normal.
4. Launch the System Restore from the Start menu and run the repair procedure.
The program will work identically as described above. However, it will only let you
restore the system or undo a previously performed restore process. It will not allow
you to create new checkpoints. Next you can restart Windows normally or perform
further adjustments or corrections.
3.4 Restoring the System by Using the System
Recovery Software
The EasyInstall CD/DVD supplied with your Targa PC contains a completely new
Recovery software that lets you restore your PC gradually into a normal operating
status. It offers four options:
• Restore Boot Files Only
• Restore System Files
• Restore All Files (Leaves User Files Unchanged)
• Complete Restore (All Files will be Deleted)
If your PC does not boot or only boots giving trouble, insert the EasyInstall DVD-
ROM into your CD/DVD drive and restart your computer.
