Restoring the pre-installed software from your created
Recovery Media
If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to either use the
Recovery Media you have created or the Hard Disk Drive recovery process
to restore the computer to the state it was in when you originally received it.
To perform this restoration, follow the steps below:
When the sound mute feature has been activated, be sure to disable this to
allow sounds to be heard before starting the restore process. Please refer
to The Keyboard
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.
