Hard Drive Recovery Utilities
Your computer has been configured with a hard disk partition
to allow you to recover your hard disk drive or reinstall
selected applications and software features or utilities.
It is strongly recommended that you create recovery CDs/
DVDs before using your system. For more information on
creating Recovery media, see “Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs”
on page 63
Using the HDD Recovery, you can:
❖ Create Hard Drive Recovery CDs or DVDs using a
writable drive.
❖ Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default.
❖ Recover just your C: drive, leaving any other partitions
you may have created intact, for example, a D: drive.
❖ Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default
state without the HDD Recovery partition.
❖ Delete your hard disk drive recovery partition without the
risk of losing your data
❖ Reinstall drivers and applications which were bundled
with your computer.
