Restoring the pre-installed software from the
Recovery Partition
A portion of the total storage space is configured as a hidden recovery
partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore pre-
installed software in the event of a problem.
If you subsequently set up your storage space again, do not change, delete
or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual, otherwise
you may find that space for the required software is not available.
In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the
partitions on your storage space, you may find that it becomes impossible
to setup your tablet.
Make sure that the AC adaptor are connected during the restoring process.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the storage space may
be reformatted and all data may be lost.
