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.

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
