Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
Restoring from recovery DVDs/media
The recovery process deletes information stored on the internal
storage drive. Be sure to save your work to external media before
executing the recovery.
During the internal storage drive recovery process it is strongly
recommended that your computer be connected to an external power
source via the AC adaptor.
If you have created recovery DVDs/media for your system, you can
recover your system even if the recovery files have been deleted
from your internal storage drive or if you have replaced your
internal storage drive. For instructions on creating recovery
DVDs/media, see “Creating recovery DVDs/media” on page 69.
With recovery media, you can:
❖ Recover to out-of-box state
❖ Recover to a custom size partition
❖ Recover without changing the internal storage drive partitions
For more information on these options, see “Recovering the
Internal Storage Drive” on page 60.
