If Gateway GoBack is not able to revert to a time that allows the computer to start properly, then it is time to use the traditional backup methods. Keep in mind that a physical malfunction, like the microprocessor failing, is not resolved by either Gateway GoBack or a traditional backup method. Reverting the hard disk from the Boot Menu screen Use the Gateway GoBack Boot Menu to perform an emergency recovery if the computer fails to start up, and you are unable to start Windows. Doing this reverts the hard disk to a time when Windows was operating properly. Each time a user asks for a reversion from the Gateway GoBack Boot Screen, Gateway GoBack selects a time further in the past based on Safe Points.
Safe Points are times at which the computer was idle for a few seconds.
If a user has more than one hard disk protected by Gateway GoBack, the reversion back in time affects all hard disks. Use the following steps to revert the hard disk from the Gateway GoBack Boot Menu. Restart the computer. Select Revert Drive . Gateway GoBack searches the physical hard disk for safe times to revert to.
