Recovering the Internal Storage Drive<br />
Restoring from recovery DVDs/media<br />
NOTE<br />
NOTE<br />
The recovery process deletes information stored on the internal<br />
storage drive. Be sure to save your work to external media before<br />
executing the recovery (see “Backing up your work” on page 104).<br />
During the internal storage drive recovery process it is strongly<br />
recommended that your computer be connected to an external power<br />
source via the AC adaptor.<br />
If you have created recovery DVDs/media for your system, you can<br />
restore your system from such media, if necessary. For example, if<br />
your original internal storage drive fails, you can restore your<br />
system to a new internal storage drive from your recovery<br />
DVDs/media. For instructions on creating recovery DVDs/media,<br />
see “Creating recovery DVDs/media” on page 67.<br />
With recovery media, you can:<br />
❖ Recover to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method)<br />
❖ Recover to a custom size partition<br />
❖ Recover without changing the internal storage drive partitions<br />
For more information on these options, see “Recovering the<br />
Internal Storage Drive” on page 58.<br />
When you restore your system, only the operating system files,<br />
applications, and drivers originally shipped with the computer are<br />
restored. Any files that you created are not restored during this<br />
process. Be sure to separately save the files you have created to<br />
external media using Windows ® Backup or another backup program.<br />
For more information, see “Backing up your work” on page 104.<br />
To recover your internal storage drive from recovery DVDs/media:<br />
1 Shut down and turn off your computer.<br />
2 Do one of the following:<br />
❖ If your recovery files are on DVDs, insert the first recovery<br />
DVD into your optical disc drive. Consult the<br />
documentation that came with your optical disc drive to<br />
learn how to load the DVD while the computer is powered<br />
off.
