Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
During the recovery process it is strongly recommended that your
computer be connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
You can recover the original factory image (returning the computer
to its out-of-box state) using the utilities stored on your computer’s
internal storage drive or using recovery DVDs/media, if you have
created such media. To recover using the first method, follow the
procedure below. To recover using the second method, see
“Restoring from recovery DVDs/media” on page 70.
To recover the original factory image using the utilities on your
computer’s internal storage drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned off.
2 Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while
powering on the computer.
3 If your system offers a choice of Windows
