Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery hard

disk drive

A portion of the total hard disk drive space is configured as a hidden
recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore
pre-installed software in the event of a problem.
If you subsequently set up your hard disk drive again, do not change,
delete or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual,
otherwise you may find that space for the required software is not available.
In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the
partitions on your hard disk drive, you may find that it becomes impossible
to setup your computer.
When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the
FN + ESC key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before
starting the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5,
further details.
You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the pre-installed
software without System Recovery Options.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. While holding down 0 (zero) key on the keyboard, turn on your
