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) Recover to a custom size partition See "Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method)" on page 63.
