See "Recovering or installing device drivers" on page 44. 2. Some computers come with Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works preinstalled. If you need to recover or reinstall your Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works applications, you must use the Microsoft Office CD or Microsoft Works CD. These CDs are provided only with computers that come with Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works preinstalled. Creating and using rescue media Rescue media such as a disc or a USB hard disk drive enables you to recover from failures that prevent you from gaining access to the Rescue and Recovery workspace on your hard disk drive.

From the Windows desktop, click Start → All Programs → ThinkVantage → Create Rescue Media. 2. In the Rescue Media area, select the type of rescue media you want to create. You can create rescue media using a disc, a USB hard disk drive, or a secondary internal hard disk drive. 3. Click OK. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen. Note: For Windows Vista, use rescue media to restore to the factory-installed contents only. To use rescue media, do one of the following: v If your rescue media is on discs, insert the rescue disc and restart your computer. v If your rescue media is on a USB hard disk drive, attach your USB hard disk drive to one of the USB connectors on your computer, then restart your computer. v If you are using a secondary internal hard disk drive, set the startup sequence to start from that drive. When the rescue media starts, the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens. Help for each feature is available from the Rescue and Recovery workspace. If your rescue media fails to start, you might not have your rescue device (CD drive, DVD drive, or USB device) set correctly in the BIOS startup sequence.
