Restoring the preinstalled software from the recovery HDD
A portion of the total hard disk drive space is configured as a hidden
recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore
preinstalled software in the event of a problem.
When re-setting up your hard disk, do not change, delete or add partition in
a manner other than specified in the manual. Otherwise, space for software
may be destroyed.
In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure
partitions on your hard disk, it may become impossible to re-setup your
computer.
1. Turn off your computer.
■ Please note that some of the above media may not be compatible with
the optical disc drive installed into your computer. You should therefore
verify the optical disc drive supports the blank media you have chosen
before proceeding.
■ USB Flash Memory will be formatted and all the data in the USB Flash
Memory will be lost when proceeding.
■ When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the
FN+ESC key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before
staring the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard,
for further details.
■ You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the preinstalled
software without System Recovery Options.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
