you originally received it. To perform this restoration, do the following:
User's Manual
Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subjected to
vibrations such as airplanes, trains, or cars.
Do not use on an unstable surface such as a stand.
Select either blank disc or USB Flash Memory.
The application allows you to choose from a variety of different media
onto which the recovery image can be copied including disc media
and USB Flash Memory.
Some of the disc media might not be compatible with the optical disc
drive connected to your computer. You should therefore verify that the
optical disc drive supports the blank media you have chosen before
proceeding.
USB Flash Memory will be formatted and all the data in the USB Flash
Memory will be lost when proceeding.
Turn on your computer and allow it to load the Windows operating
system from the internal storage drive as normal.
Insert the first blank disc into the external optical disc drive tray, or
insert the USB Flash Memory into one available USB port.
Click Start -> Windows System -> Control Panel -> System and
Security -> Security and Maintenance -> Recovery -> Create a
recovery drive.
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish creating the Recovery
Media.
Make sure that the AC adaptor is connected during the restoring
process.
Do not close the display panel during the restoring process.
