Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
Your computer includes recovery utilities to allow you to
recover your internal storage drive if necessary.
The following internal storage drive recovery options are
available:
A recovery image of your computer is stored on the internal
storage drive, and the image can be restored by running the
recovery utilities directly from your internal storage drive as
described in the sections below. However, it is strongly
recommended that you create recovery media. If the
recovery files on your internal storage drive become
corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from
your recovery media. Also, if your original internal storage
drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal
storage drive from your recovery media. It is strongly
recommended that you create recovery media before using
your system for the first time. See “Creating recovery media”
