Some data files may be difficult to find after the system recovery, so it is best to back up all hard disk files before performing a system recovery. ■ Full System Recovery: This recovery function completely erases and reformats the hard disk drive. The program performs a full system recovery to reinstall the operating system, programs, and drivers from the recovery CDs. However, you must reinstall any software that was not installed on the PC at the factory. This includes software that came on CDs included in the PC accessory box, and software programs you installed since your purchase.
