58 Getting Started Hard Drive Recovery Utilities Hard Drive Recovery Utilities (Available on certain models) Your computer has been configured with a hard disk partition (available on certain models) to allow you to recover your hard disk drive or reinstall selected applications and software features or utilities. NOTE It is strongly recommended that you create recovery CDs/DVDs before using your system. For more information on creating Recovery media see "Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs" on page 58. Using the HDD Recovery, you can: ❖ Create Hard Drive Recovery CDs or DVDs using a writable drive ❖ Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default ❖ Recover just your C: drive, leaving any other partitions you may have created intact, for example, a D: drive ❖ Recover to a custom sized partition, leaving extra space to create an additional partition later ❖ Erase the hard disk completely ❖ Reinstall drivers and applications which were bundled with your computer Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to copy the Hard Drive Recovery Utilities to CD or DVD which gives you the ability to recover your hard disk drive and recover your system if the hard drive recovery partition has been deleted or the hard disk has been replaced on your computer. NOTE The system will prompt you to insert the appropriate number of blank CDs or DVDs to copy the Hard Drive Recovery Utilities.
