Recovering to a custom size partition
Recovering to a custom size partition deletes all partitions on the
drive and all information stored in those partitions. Be sure to save
your work to external media before executing the recovery. For more
information, see “Backing up your work” on page 100.
During the recovery process it is strongly recommended that your
computer be connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
The “Recover to a custom size partition” option restores your C:
drive to its out-of-box state, and allows you to specify the size for
the C: partition. You can resize and recover the C: drive using the
utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage drive or using
recovery media, if you have created such media. To recover using
the first method, follow the procedure below. To recover using the
second method, see “Restoring from recovery media” on page 65.

computer’s internal storage drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned off.
