F System Recovery

System Recovery completely erases and reformats the hard disk drive, deleting all data files you

have created, and then reinstalls the operating system, programs, and drivers. However, you must

reinstall any software that was not installed on the computer at the factory. This includes software that

came on media included in the computer accessory box, and any software programs you installed

after purchase.

NOTE: Always use the System Restore procedure before you use the System Recovery program.

NOTE: Some features might not be available on systems that are shipped without a version of

Microsoft Windows.

You must choose one of the following methods to perform a System Recovery:

● Recovery Image — Run the System Recovery from a recovery image stored on your hard disk

drive. The recovery image is a file that contains a copy of the original factory-shipped software.

To perform a System Recovery from a recovery image, see

System Recovery from the Windows

7 Start Menu on page 144.

NOTE: The recovery image uses a portion of the hard disk drive that cannot be used for data

storage.

●

Recovery Media — Run the System Recovery from recovery media, that you created from files

stored on your hard disk drive, or purchased separately. To create recovery media, see

Recovery media on page 146.
