It also has the PTS DOS safe mode, which may help in a number of non- standard situations such as interfering hardware settings or serious problems on the hardware level.

To find this information use right click on “My Computer” icon on the Desktop, choose “Properties”. Under the «System» or «System Type»:

1. If you see “32” or there is no number of bits, then you use 32-bit operating system.

2. If you see “64” then you use 64-bit operating system.

In case with CDDVD recovery media you first are to create ISO image and save to your computer.

Next find ISO image in directory, use right click on created ISO file and select “Burn disc image”. Please make sure that you use right click on ISO file itself, not on the CD-ROM drive.
