Recovering the original factory image

Recovering a hard disk drive to its factory default setting
deletes all partitions on the hard disk drive and your

media first.

2 Select Recover to out-of-the-box-state. Click Next.
A confirmation message displays, reminding you that all data
will be lost during the recovery process. Be sure you have
saved your work to external media before proceeding.
3 Click Next to begin the recovery process.
Once complete, a message displays that the HDD has been
recovered.
4 Press any key on the keyboard to restart the computer.
Recovering the C: partition of the HDD only
Recovering the C: drive to its factory default setting reformats
your drive and your information on the recovered drive will be
lost. Be sure to save your work to external media first. If you
have created other partitions (for example, a D: drive) those
partitions and any information on them will not be affected and
will remain intact.
To recover only your C: drive:
1 Select Recovery of Factory Default Software. Click Next.
