 recovery tools: You can use the 

f11

 recovery tools to recover your original hard drive image.

The image includes the Windows operating system and software programs installed at the
factory.

If you are unable to boot (start up) your computer and you cannot use the system repair

discs you previously created (select models only), you must purchase a Windows 7 operating system
DVD to reboot the computer and repair the operating system. For additional information, see the
Using a Windows 7 operating system DVD (purchased separately) section.

To recover information you previously backed up:

Select Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.

Follow the on-screen instructions to recover your system settings, your computer (select models
only), or your files.

To recover your information using Startup Repair, follow these steps:

Some Startup Repair options completely erase hard drive contents and reformat the

hard drive. All files you have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently
removed. When reformatting is complete, the recovery process restores the operating system, as well
as the drivers, software, and utilities from the backup used for recovery.

If possible, back up all personal files.

If possible, check for the presence of the Windows partition.

To check for the Windows partition, select Start > Computer.

If the Windows partition is listed, restart the computer, and then press 

f8

 before the Windows

operating system loads.

Select Startup Repair.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

For additional information on recovering information using the Windows tools, perform a
