Performing a recovery
Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system failure or
instability. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs that you create or from a dedicated recovery
partition on the hard drive.
NOTE:
Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore and driver rollback
capabilities. If you have not already tried these features, try them before using Recovery Manager.
NOTE:
Recovery Manager only recovers software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software
not provided with this computer must be reinstalled from the disc provided by the manufacturer or
downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site.
