46 Getting Started Recovering the Internal Storage Drive 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 a recovery drive (USB flash).
