external media (CD-R), in order to become familiar with the
technology.
A backup is unusable if you are not in a position to recreate the
data, the medium (CD-R) is defective or is no longer available.
When is the recovery of the factory setting recommended?
This method should be chosen as the last resort. Read chapter
"System Restore" concerning the possible alternatives.
Why is the boot partition missing when booting from the support/
application disc?

more efficient access. However, NTFS partitions can only be read
from operating systems supporting this. This is not the case in the
aforementioned disc.
