    What can I do if the back-up process fails?
    If you can start the backup but it fails during the back-up process, try the 
    following steps:
    1Close all open programs, and then restart the back-up process.
    2Check to see if the destination media is damaged. Select another path 
    and then try again.
    When do I need to restore the system to its factory status?
    Use this feature when the operating system fails to start up. If there is 
    critical data on the system partition, back it up before starting recovery.
    BIOS setup utility
    What is the BIOS setup utility?
    The BIOS setup utility is ROM-based software. It displays basic computer
