Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
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 need to recover your computer to its default factory state, you
can rebuild the system using your Hard Drive Recovery Utilities.
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 66.
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 58.
