Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

you want to allow the following program to make changes to this

computer?” This is a security feature to prevent programs or people

from doing things on your computer without your permission. If you

were trying to perform the action, click Continue; otherwise, click

Cancel. If unsure, cancel and try again.

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

Your computer includes recovery utilities to allow you to recover

your internal storage drive if necessary.

The following internal storage drive recovery options are available:

A recovery image of your computer is stored on the internal storage

drive, and the image can be restored by running the recovery

utilities directly from your internal storage drive as described in the

sections below. However, 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. It is strongly recommended that

you create recovery media before using your system for the first

time. See “Creating recovery media” on page 54 and “Restoring

from recovery media” on page 56.
