After the steps above are completed, subsequent access to XpressRecovery2can be made by simply pressing thekey during system power-on.

NOTE:

1. If you have already entered XpressRecovery2by booting from the CD-ROM, you can enter XpressRecovery2by pressing thekey in the future.
2. System storage capacity and the reading/writing speed of the hard disk will affect the data backup speed.

6. Limitations:Not compatible to Xpress Recovery.
7. For the use of XpressRecovery2, a primary partition must be reserved.
8. XpressRecovery2will store the backup file at the end of the hard disk, so free space available on the hard disk for the backup file must be allocated in advance. (A minimum4GBis recommended but the actual space is dependent on the size of the data to be backed up)
9. Capable of backing up hard disks installed with Windows operating systems including DOS and Windows XP/2000/NT/9x/Me.
10. USB hard disks are currently not supported.
11. Does not support RAID/AHCI(class code 0104/0106) hard disks.
12. Capable of backing up and restoring only the first physical hard disk.
13. Hard disks detection sequence is as follows:
14. PATAIDE primary channel
15. PATAIDE secondary channel
16. SATAIDE channel 1
17. SATAIDE channel 2
18. SATAIDE channel 3
19. SATAIDE channel 4
20. Precautions:When using hard disks with more than128Gunder Windows 2000, be sure to execute the EnableBigLba.exe program from the driver CD before data backup.
21. It is normal that data backup takes longer time than data restoration.
22. XpressRecovery2is compliant with theGPLregulations.
23. On a few motherboards based onNvidiachipsets, BIOS update is required for XpressRecovery2to correctly identify RAID andSATAIDE mode. Please contact your motherboard manufacturer.
24. XpressRecovery2supports onlyPATAhard disks and notSATAhard disks on the following motherboards (As this is a BIOS-related issue, it can be solved by BIOS update)GA-K8UGA-K8U-9GA-K8NXP-SLIGA-K8NUltra-SLIGA-K8NPro-SLIGA-K8NXP-9GA-K8NUltra-9GA-K8NF-9(PCBVer. 1.0)GA-K8NE(PCBVer. 1.0)GA-K8NMF-9GA-8N-SLIRoyalGA-8N-SLIProGA-8N-SLI
