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 must connect an external USB DVD-ROM to your computer
before inserting the recovery DVD and support CD.
1. Turn on your computer and press <F8> to enter the Please
select boot device menu.
2. Insert the recovery DVD into the optical drive and select the op-
tical drive (“DVDROM: XXX”) as the boot device. Press <Enter>
and then press any key to continue.
3. The ASUS Recovery DVD window appears. Select where to
install a new system (min. 20GB space is required). Options are:
Recover system to a partition
This option will delete only the partition you select from below,
allowing you to keep other partitions. Select a partition and
click NEXT.
Recover system to entire HD
This option will delete all partitions from your hard disk drive
and restore factory settings. Select and click Yes.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery
process.
You will lose all your data during the system recovery. Make sure
that you make a backup of it before recovering the system.
