Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
A recovery image of your computer 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 a recovery drive (USB flash). If
the recovery files on your internal storage drive become
corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from
the recovery drive. Also, if your original internal storage drive
fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage
drive from your recovery drive. It is strongly recommended
that you create a recovery drive before using your system for
the first time. See
and "Restoring from a recovery drive" on page

During the recovery process your computer must be
connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
When you create a recovery drive (USB flash), only the
operating system files and drivers originally shipped with
the computer are backed up to the USB flash drive and
can be restored from this drive. Any files that you created
are not backed up on the recovery drive. You will need to
separately back up the files you created; for more
