Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

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.

To recover your internal storage drive from recovery media:

1 Make sure your computer is turned off.

2 Do one of the following:

❖ If your recovery files are on DVDs, insert the first

recovery DVD into your optional external writable

optical disc drive.

❖ If your recovery files are on a USB flash drive,

connect the USB flash drive to your computer.

3 Turn on your computer while pressing the

F12 key on

your keyboard.

The Boot menu displays.

4 Using the arrow keys, select the

DVD option or the USB

Flash option, depending on which type of media you are

using, and then press the

ENTER key.

5 A warning screen appears, stating that when the

recovery is executed all data on your internal storage

drive will be deleted and rewritten. Click or touch

Yes to

continue.

6 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the

recovery process.

When the process is complete, a message displays

indicating that the drive has been recovered.

7 Click or touch

Finish to restart the computer.
