Press any key on the keyboard to restart the computer.

Recovering without changing the internal storage drive partitions 
deletes all information stored on the C: drive. Be sure to save your 
work to external media before executing the recovery. If you have 
created other partitions (for example, a D: drive), those partitions will 
remain intact and any information on them will not be affected.

During the internal storage drive recovery process it is strongly 
recommended that your computer be connected to an external power 
source via the AC adaptor.

You can recover the C: drive without affecting other partitions by 
either using the utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage 
drive or by using recovery media, if you have created recovery 
discs. To recover using the first method, follow the procedure 
below. To recover using the second method, see
