Recovering without changing the internal storage drive partitions

deletes all information stored on the C: drive. Be sure to save your

work to external media before executing the recovery (see “Backing

up your work” on page 85). If you have created other partitions

(for example, a D: drive), those partitions will remain intact and any

information on them will not be affected.

During the internal storage drive recovery process it is strongly

recommended that your computer be connected to an external power

source via the AC adaptor.

You can recover the C: drive without affecting other partitions by

either using the utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage

drive or by 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 67.
