System Recovery Media

CAUTION: Although the system
recovery media is designed to preserve
the data files on your computer, it is
recommended that you backup your
data files before using the system
recovery media.
You can use the system recovery media,
created using Dell DataSafe Local Backup, to
return your hard drive to the operating state
it was in when you purchased the computer
while preserving the data files on your
computer.
Use the system recovery media in case of:
• Operating system failure that prevents the
use of the recovery options installed on
your computer.
• Hard drive failure that prevents data from
being recovered.
