Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery hard disk drive
On your Data drive you may find a folder “HDDRecovery”. This folder
stores files which can be used to recover your system to the originally
installed factory state.
If you subsequently set up your hard disk drive again, do not change,
delete or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual,
otherwise you may find that space for the required software is not available.
In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the
partitions on your hard disk drive, you may find that it becomes impossible
to setup your computer.
Please set your BIOS to default before you recover your computer to the
factory state!
When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the
FN + ESC key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before
starting the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5,
further details.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
