Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
You can recover the C: drive without affecting other partitions by
either using the utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage
drive or by using recovery DVDs/media, if you have created such
media. To recover using the first method, follow the procedure
below. To recover using the second method, see
“Restoring from
recovery DVDs/media” on page 70 .
To recover using the utilities on your computer’s internal storage
drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned off.
2 Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while
powering on the computer.
3 If your system offers a choice of Windows ® 7 32-bit or 64-bit
operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 4.
4 A warning screen appears stating that when the recovery is
executed all data will be deleted and rewritten. Click Yes to
continue.
