Recovery overview for the Windows 7 operating system
This section provides information about the recovery solutions provided by Lenovo on the Windows 7
operating system.
Notes:
• There are a variety of methods to choose from when considering how to recover in the event of a
software-related or hardware-related problem. Some methods vary depending on the type of your
operating system.
• The product on the recovery media might be used only for the following purposes:
– Restore the product preinstalled on your computer
– Reinstall the product
– Modify the product using the Additional Files
To prevent potential performance risks or unexpected behavior that might be caused by the new hard disk
drive technology, it is recommended that you use one of the following back-up software programs:
• Rescue and Recovery version 4.52 or later
• Acronis True Image 2010 or later
• Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Suite or later, Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Home or later
Creating and using recovery media
You can use recovery media to restore the storage devices to the factory default settings. Recovery media
are useful if you transfer the computer to another area, sell the computer, recycle the computer, or put the
computer in an operational state after all other methods of recovery have failed. As a precautionary measure,
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, so it is
important that you store the recovery media in a safe place after you have made them.
