Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

A recovery image of your device is stored on the internal 
storage drive, and the image can be restored by running the 
recovery utilities directly from your internal storage drive as 
described in the sections below. However, 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. It is strongly 
recommended that you create recovery media before using 
your system for the first time. See 

 and 

.

❖

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

❖

When you restore your system, only the operating 
system files, applications, and drivers originally 
shipped with the device 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
