The video below is displayed in two formats, natively on WordPress and also on YouTube. Variant A: Creation of a Rescue Disk with Dell Backup and Recovery. If you have performed a clean installation, then upon installation Dell Backup and Recovery will create a new factory partition based on your clean installation. It is also possible to create a set of Factory Backup DVDs but this is very problematic and is not recommended in any case. I therefore instruct on updating to the latest version of Dell Backup and Recovery, creating the Recovery Media and testing if the media boots in a UEFI BIOS with SecureBoot enabled. 2 sources of Recovery Media are better than one. I usually recommend make both the Rescue Disk (Recovery External Hard Drive) and Factory Backup (Recovery USB). It however works well in my test, so I recommend using the same USB flash drive as I used if you have difficulty with other vendors. Newer systems than 2012 typically have a UEFI BIOS with SecureBoot from the forums this security technology can be problematic with some vendors of USB flash drive. The Rescue Disk is recommended by Dell however systems that are older than 2010 do not have the capabilities to boot from an external hard drive. The Rescue Disk (Recovery External Hard Drive) and the Factory Backup Drive (Recovery USB Flash Drive). There are two forms of Recovery media which can be made with Dell Backup and Recovery. DELL ALIENWARE SOFTWARE RECOVERY WINDOWS 8.1Part 1: Updating Dell Backup and Recovery and Creating Recovery Media – Windows 8.1 These systems likely do not have the capabilities to boot from an external hard drive so a Factory Backup (Bootable USB Flash Drive) should be used instead of a Rescue Disk (Bootable USB External Hard Drive). Systems Older than Late 2010įor a legacy system BIOS that is a BIOS older than 2010 you will not have a UEFI compliant BIOS and you will not have SecureBoot. Therefore UEFI and SecureBoot won't be enabled. Systems Older than 2012įor a legacy system BIOS that is a BIOS older than 2012 you will not have a UEFI compliant BIOS. DELL ALIENWARE SOFTWARE RECOVERY 32 BITUEFI and SecureBoot do not support 32 Bit Windows. DELL ALIENWARE SOFTWARE RECOVERY INSTALLIt is advised to install Windows 7 64 Bit in UEFI. Windows 7 64 Bit does not support SecureBoot and it should hence be disabled. Its advised to use UEFI and SecureBoot with Windows 8.1 64 Bit. These systems will have the newer security technologies associated with a UEFI BIOS. Dell note the date of their systems on their FTP Website: My tutorial videos mention these newer technologies and you may or may not have them depending on the age of your system. The Dell system should be shipped with the appropriate UEFI/BIOS settings appropriate for your factory settings.
