System Recovery - Restore your Q2006 Operating System.
The hard drive of the Q2006 has a hidden partition that contains a full 
backup image of the operating system that can be used to recover the 
system in the event that something happens to the operating system. 

If the hard drive is removed or the partition deleted, the recover 

options will no longer be available and a recovery service will 
be needed.
