Hard Drive Recovery Utilities
(Available on certain models)
Your computer has been configured with a hard disk partition to
allow you to recover your hard disk drive or reinstall selected
applications and software features or utilities.
It is strongly recommended that you create recovery DVDs before
using your system. For more information on creating Recovery
media see
“Creating Recovery DVDs” on page 61.
Using the HDD Recovery, you can:
❖ Create Hard Drive Recovery 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 your hard disk drive to the factory-set default without
the HDD Recovery partition.
❖ Reinstall drivers and applications which were bundled with
your computer.
