Using recovery media
You can use recovery media to restore the computer to the factory default settings only. You can use
recovery media to put the computer in an operational state after all other methods of recovery have failed.
Attention:
When you use recovery media to restore the computer to the factory default settings, all the files
currently on the hard disk drive or hybrid drive will be deleted and replaced by the factory default settings.
To use recovery media, do the following:
1. Depending on the type of your recovery media, connect the boot medium (memory key or other USB
storage device) to the computer, or insert the boot disc into an external optical drive.
2. Repeatedly press and release the F12 key when turning on the computer. When the Boot Menu window
opens, release the F12 key.
3. Select the desired startup device and press Enter. The restore process begins.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the operation.
Notes:
1. After restoring your computer to the factory default settings, you might have to reinstall device drivers
for some devices. See “Reinstalling preinstalled programs and device drivers” on page 109.
2. Some computers come with Microsoft Office preinstalled. If you need to recover or reinstall your
Microsoft Office program, you must use the
Microsoft Office CD
. This disc is provided only with
computers preinstalled with Microsoft Office.
Performing backup and recovery operations
The Rescue and Recovery program enables you to back up all your storage drive contents including the
operating system, data files, software programs, and personal settings. You can designate where the
Rescue and Recovery program stores the backup:
• In a protected area of your storage drive
• On the secondary hard disk drive if a secondary hard disk drive is installed in your computer
• On an attached external USB hard disk drive
• On a network drive
• On recordable discs (a recordable optical drive is required for this option)
After you have backed up the contents on the storage drive, you can restore the complete contents of the
storage drive, restore only the selected files, or restore only the Windows operating system and programs.
