Restoring from recovery media The recovery process deletes information stored on the internal storage drive. Be sure to save your work to external media before executing the recovery (see "Backing up your work" on page 68). If you have created recovery media for your system, you can restore your system from such media, if necessary. For example, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage drive from your recovery media. For instructions on creating recovery media, see "Creating recovery media" on page 50. With recovery media, you can: ❖ Recover to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method) ❖ Recovery of factory default software with user's data ❖ Recover without changing the internal storage drive partitions ❖ Recover to a custom size partition For more information on these options, see "Recovering the Internal Storage Drive" on page 38. NOTE When you restore your system, only the operating system files, applications, and drivers originally shipped with the computer are restored. Any files that you created are not restored during this process. Be sure to separately save the files you have created to external media using Windows® Backup or another backup program. For more information, see "Backing up your work" on page 68.

The recovery process deletes information stored on the internal
storage drive. Be sure to save your work to external media before
executing the recovery (see

).
If you have created recovery media for your system, you can restore
your system from such media, if necessary. For example, if your
original internal storage drive fails, you can restore your system to a
new internal storage drive from your recovery media. For
instructions on creating recovery media, see
“Creating recovery
media” on page 50
.
With recovery media, you can:
Recover to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method)
Recovery of factory default software with user’s data
Recover without changing the internal storage drive partitions
Recover to a custom size partition
For more information on these options, see
“Recovering the
Internal Storage Drive” on page 38
.
When you restore your system, only the operating system files,
applications, and drivers originally shipped with the computer are
restored. Any files that you created are not restored during this
process. Be sure to separately save the files you have created to
external media using Windows
®
Backup or another backup program.
