formatted, which removes all the information on the hard disk drive. You will lose
any software you have installed and any other files you have created since you
started to use your computer. This means you will have to reinstall any
applications that were not included with the computer when you purchased it.

applications that were not included with the computer when you purchased it.

Microsoft Windows Getting Started manual. You will need this number to complete
the recovery process.
