Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

If you are copying the recovery files to DVDs, be sure to 
label each DVD in the set sequentially (for example, “1 of 
3,” “2 of 3,” etc.), so that you will know in which order to 
insert the discs during recovery.

For information on using the Recovery media you have 
created with the preceding steps, see 

Restoring from recovery media

The recovery process deletes information stored on the 
internal storage drive. Be sure to save your work to 
external media before executing the recovery (see 

).

During the recovery process your computer must be 
connected to an external power source via the AC 
adaptor.

If you have created recovery media for your system, you can 
restore your system from such media, if necessary. For 
example, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can 
restore your system to a new internal storage drive from your 
recovery media. For instructions on creating recovery media, 
see 

.

When you restore your system, only the operating 
system files, applications, 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 

.

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 optical disc drive.
