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” on page 54 and “Restoring
from recovery media” on page 56.
