Recovering without changing the internal storage drive partitions
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 103). 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.
