System Recovery

System Recovery completely erases and reformats the hard disk drive, deleting all data files you
have created, and then reinstalls the operating system, programs, and drivers. However, you must
reinstall any software that was not installed on the computer at the factory. This includes software that
came on media included in the computer accessory box, and any software programs you installed
after purchase.
NOTE: Always use the System Restore procedure before you use the System Recovery program.
