Restoring the factory contents by using the Recovery Disc Set
When the main storage drive is replaced because of a failure, no product recovery program is on the new
drive. In this case, the customer must use the Recovery Disc Set to recover the computer. Order the
Recovery Disc Set and the drive at the same time so that the customer can restore the computer to the
factory default settings by using the Recovery Disc Set after the new drive is installed. For information about
which discs to order, go to http://www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup.
Depending on the model, the number of recovery discs included in the Recovery Disc Set differs. The
Recovery Disc Set might consist of the user instructions and the following set of DVDs to restore the
computer to the original factory configuration.
•
Operating System Recovery Disc
(one disc): This disc restores the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Use this disc to start the recovery process.
•
Applications and Drivers Recovery Disc
(one or more discs): This disc restores the preinstalled
applications and drivers on the computer.
•
Supplemental Recovery Disc
: This disc contains additional content, such as updates to the software that
was preinstalled on the computer. Not all recovery disc sets come with a
Supplemental Recovery Disc
.
Notes:
• You must have a DVD drive to use the recovery discs. If you do not have an internal DVD drive, you
can use an external USB DVD drive.
• During the recovery process, all data on the drive will be deleted. If possible, copy any important data
or personal files that you want to keep onto removable media or a network drive before you start the
recovery process.
• Recovery can take one to two hours to complete. The length of time depends on the method you use. If
you use recovery discs, the recovery process will take about two hours.
