I want to restore my computer to its original settings without 
recovery CDs.
Note: If your system is the multilingual version, the operating 
system and language you choose when you first turn on the 
system will be the only option for future recovery operations.
This recovery process helps you restore the C: drive with the original software 
content that is installed when you purchase
 
your notebook. Follow the steps 
below to rebuild your C: drive.
