Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
Your computer includes recovery utilities to allow you to recover
your internal storage drive if necessary.
The following internal storage drive recovery options are available:
Recovery option
Recover to out-of-box
state
Recover to a custom
size partition
Recover without
changing the internal
storage drive partitions
Restore from recovery
DVDs/media
Description
This option restores the original factory image to your
internal storage drive, returning your computer to its out-
of-box state. (Recommended recovery method)
See "Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended
recovery method)" on page
This option allows you to specify a custom size for
the C: partition and then restores your C: drive to its out-
of-box state. Note: With this option, any changes you
made to the C: drive and any other drive partitions you
may have created are deleted.
See "Recovering to a custom size partition" on page
This option recovers just your C: drive, leaving any other
partitions you may have created (for example, a D: drive)
intact.
See "Recovering without changing the internal storage
drive partitions" on page
If you have created recovery DVDs/media (strongly
recommended), you can recover your system even if the
recovery utilities have been deleted from your internal
storage drive or if you have replaced your computer's
internal storage drive.
