created such media. To recover using the first method, follow the

executed all data will be deleted and rewritten. Click Yes to
continue.

Recovering an internal storage drive to its out-of-box state deletes all
partitions on the drive and all information stored in those partitions.
Be sure to save your work to external media before executing the
recovery. For more information, see
page 104.
During the recovery process it is strongly recommended that your
computer be connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
