Recovery information for the Windows 7 operating system

This topic introduces the Lenovo recovery solutions on the Windows 7 operating system.

Creating and using recovery media

Recovery media enables you to restore the storage drive to the factory default settings after all other recovery
methods have failed. It is important to create recovery media as early as possible.

Note:

The recovery operations you can perform using recovery media vary depending on the operating

system from which the recovery media were created. The recovery media might contain a boot medium and
a data medium. Your Microsoft Windows license permits you to create only one data medium. Ensure that
you store the recovery media in a safe place after you have made them.

If you did not create recovery media as a precautionary measure, you can contact Lenovo Customer Support
Center and purchase a set of recovery media from Lenovo. For a list of the Lenovo Support phone numbers
for your country or region, go to:

The data on the recovery media can be used only for the following purposes:

• Reinstalling the programs and device drivers on your computer

• Reinstalling the operating system
