Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

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 DVDs/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 DVDs/media” on page 72.

To recover using the utilities on your computer’s internal storage

drive:

1 Make sure the computer is turned off.

2 Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while

powering on the computer.

3 If your system offers a choice of Windows

7 32-bit or 64-bit

operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 4.

4 A warning screen appears stating that when the recovery is

executed all data will be deleted and rewritten. Click Ye s to

continue.
