Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery hard disk
drive
A portion of the total hard disk drive 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 hard disk drive 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 hard disk drive, you may find that it becomes impossible
to setup your computer.
■
Please note that some of the above media may not be compatible with
the optical disc drive installed into your computer. You should therefore
verify the optical disc drive supports the blank media you have chosen
before proceeding.
■
USB Flash Memory will be formatted and all the data in the USB Flash
Memory will be lost when proceeding.
When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the FN +
ESC key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before starting
the restore process. Please refer to chapter 5,
, for further
