Custom recovery and preinstallation setup

As an extension of the Rescue and Recovery program, custom recovery technology

has been added to the recovery process. Users will interact with this custom

recovery method through the Rescue and Recovery and the Lenovo Base Software

Selector programs. By performing a custom recovery, users have the option of

including and excluding individual components such as applications, device

drivers or operating systems as part of the recovery process. Administrators will

define what options a user will have during a custom recovery process with the

ThinkVantage Base Software Administrator program.

The Base Software Administrator program is a versatile software utility that you

can use to accomplish custom recovery and preinstallation related tasks. With the

Base Software Administrator program, you can customize the recovery process for

users and you can create personalization files used to automate the preinstallation

setup for Windows.

Customizing the recovery process

activity with the distribution of viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Technology and

anti-virus software has improved in the fight against malicious activity; however,

there are times when the software on a computer will need to be renewed by

removing malicious files and starting over. Rescue and Recovery is a valuable tool

in the renewal process by providing methods to restore a computer in the event

the computer is sold, recycled, transferred to another area or needs to be put in an

the custom factory recovery method. The full factory recovery method restores the

factory contents of the hard drive that consists of components such as applications,

device drivers, and the operating system. Factory components are installed at the

factory prior to the purchase of a computer. Using the Base Software Administrator

program, you can control the recovery options that are available to the user during

the recovery process. The following list provides the recovery methods you can

designate a user to perform:

v Full factory recovery only

v Custom factory recovery only

Components

consist of applications, device drivers, and operating systems. These
