Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

❖ During the recovery process your computer must be

connected to an external power source via the AC

adaptor.

❖ When you restore your system, only the operating

system files and drivers originally shipped with the

computer are restored. Any files that you created are

not restored during this process. Be sure to

separately save the files you have created to external

media using Windows

or another backup program.

For more information, see “Backing up your work” on

page 76.

Creating recovery media

It is strongly recommended that you create recovery media.

If the recovery files on your internal storage drive become

corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from

your recovery media. Also, if your original internal storage

drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal

storage drive from your recovery media.

During the recovery process your computer must be

connected to an external power source via the AC

adaptor.

When you create recovery media, only the operating

system files and drivers originally shipped with the

computer are backed up to the external media and can

be restored from this media. Any files that you created

are not backed up on the recovery media. You will need

to separately back up the files you created; for more

information, see “Backing up your work” on page 76.

When you create recovery media, the system will prompt you

to insert several blank DVDs or connect one or more USB

flash drives of a certain minimum capacity to your computer.

The amount of space required for storing the recovery files

varies by computer model. Follow the procedure below to

determine how much space you will need for storing your

system’s recovery files.
