54 Getting Started Recovering the Internal Storage Drive TECHNICAL NOTE: You must have at least one memory module installed for the computer to work. Checking total memory When you add or remove a memory module, you can check that the computer has recognized the change. To do this: ❖ Click Start, Control Panel, System and Security, and then System. The System window appears. Installed memory (RAM) is displayed below the System heading. If the computer does not recognize the memory configuration, turn off the computer and remove the memory module slot cover (complete steps 1-8 in "Installing a memory module" on page 46), and then check that the module is inserted completely into the socket and lined up squarely with the socket latches. NOTE From time to time, Windows® will display a pop-up that says, "Do 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: Recovery option Recover to out-of-box state Description This option restores the original factory image to your internal storage drive, returning your computer to its out-of-box state. (Recommended recovery method) Recovery of factory default software with user's data See "Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method)" on page 56.
