Recovering pre-installed software
Your computer hard disk has a hidden, protected area for backups. Contained
within this area is a complete backup of the hard disk as it was shipped from
the factory and a program called ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery.
If you performed a backup operation using the Rescue and Recovery
program, you also have one or more backups stored that reflect the contents
of the hard disk as it existed at various points in time. These backups might
be stored on your hard disk, or a network drive, or on removable media,
depending on the options you selected during the backup operation.
