Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method)

NOTE
You can recover the original factory image (returning the computer
to its out-of-box state) using the utilities stored on your computer's
internal storage drive or using recovery DVDs/media, if you have
created such media. To recover using the first method, follow the
procedure below. To recover using the second method, see
"Restoring from recovery DVDs/media" on page
To recover the original factory image using the utilities on your
computer's internal storage drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned off.
Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while
2
powering on the computer.
3 If your system offers a choice of Windows
operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 4.
Recovering an internal storage drive to its out-of-box state deletes all
partitions on the drive and all information stored in those partitions.
Be sure to save your work to external media before executing the
recovery. For more information, see
page 108.
During the recovery process it is strongly recommended that your
computer be connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
