Recovering your system
Using the recovery DVD
The recovery DVD includes an image of the operating system installed on your system at the
factory. The recovery DVD provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly restores
your system to its original working state, provided that your hard disk drive is in good working
order. Before using the recovery DVD, copy your data files (such as Outlook PST files) to a USB
device or to a network drive and make note of any customized configuration settings (such as
network settings).
You need to connect a USB optical drive to your computer before inserting the recovery DVD.

menu.
3. Insert the recovery DVD into the optical drive and select the optical drive (“DVDROM:
