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.
You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the preinstalled
software without System Recovery Options.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. While holding down 0 (zero) key on the keyboard, turn on your com-
puter.
3. A menu appears. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Some media may not be compatible with optical drive of your computer.
Please verify your optical drive supports the blank media you choose.
If your optical drive can only write to CDs, select CD as the Disc Set on
Recovery Disc Creator. If your Optical Drive of your computer can write to
either CD or DVDs, select the one you are using as the Disc Set on
Recovery Disc Creator.
