Restoring the factory contents by using Recovery Disc Set
When the hard disk drive is replaced because of a failure, no product recovery
program is on the new hard disk. In this case, you must use the Recovery Disc Set
for the computer. Order the Recovery Disc Set and the hard disk drive at the same
time so that you can recover the new hard disk drive with the pre-installed
software when they arrive. For information on which discs to order, see “Recovery
discs” on page 168.
The recovery disc set consists of the user instructions and the following set of
DVDs to restore the computer to the original factory configuration.

Windows operating system. Use this disc

Supplemental Recovery Disc

was preinstalled on the computer. Not all recovery disc sets come with a
Supplemental Recovery Disc.
Notes:
v You must have a DVD drive to use the recovery discs. If you do not have an
internal DVD drive, you can use an external USB DVD drive.
