Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

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 

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.

When you create recovery media, only the operating 
system files, applications, 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 

When you create recovery media, the system will prompt you 
to insert several blank DVDs or connect one or more USB 
flash drives of a certain minimum capacity to your computer. 
The amount of space required for storing the recovery files 
varies by computer model. Follow the procedure below to 
determine how much space you will need for storing your 
system’s recovery files.
