Hard Drive Recovery Utilities
Recovering the original factory image (recommended
recovery method)
Recovering a hard disk drive to its factory default setting deletes all
partitions on the hard disk drive and your information will be lost. Be
sure to save your work to external media first.
1 Select Recovery of Factory Default Software, and then click
Next.
2 Select Recover to out-of-the-box-state, and then click Next.
A confirmation message displays, reminding you that all data
will be lost during the recovery process. Be sure you have
saved your work to external media before proceeding.
3 Click Next to begin the recovery process.
Once complete, a message displays that the HDD has been
recovered.
4 Press any key on the keyboard to restart the computer.
Recovering the C: partition of the HDD only
Recovering the C: drive to its factory default setting reformats your
drive and your information on the recovered drive will be lost. Be
sure to save your work to external media first. If you have created
other partitions (for example, a D: drive) those partitions and any
information on them will not be affected and will remain intact.
To recover only your C: drive:
1 Select Recovery of Factory Default Software, and then click
Next.
2 Select Recover without the hard drive partitions, and then
click Next.
A confirmation message appears, reminding you that all
information on the C: drive will be lost during the recovery
process. Be sure you have saved your work to external media
before proceeding.
3 Click Next to begin the restoration.
Once complete, a message displays that the HDD has been
recovered.
4 Press any key on your keyboard to restart the computer.
