Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
on page 57 and “Restoring from recovery media” on
page 59.
❖ During the recovery process your computer must be
connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
❖ When you restore your system, only the operating
system files, applications, and drivers originally
shipped with the computer are restored. Any files that
you created are not restored during this process. Be
sure to separately save the files you have created to
external media using Windows
®
or another backup
program. For more information, see “Backing up your
work” on page 84.
Creating recovery media
It is strongly recommended that you create recovery media.
If the recovery files on your internal storage drive become
corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from
your recovery media. Also, if your original internal storage
drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal
storage drive from your recovery media.
During the recovery process your computer must be
connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
When you create recovery media, only the operating
system files, applications, and drivers originally shipped
with the computer are backed up to the external media
and can be restored from this media. Any files that you
created are not backed up on the recovery media. You
will need to separately back up the files you created; for
more information, see “Backing up your work” on
page 84.
