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
