When you add or remove a memory module, you can check
that the computer has recognized the change. To do this:
1 Click Start , Control Panel , Performance and
Maintenance , and then System .

total memory.
If the computer does not recognize the memory
configuration, turn off the computer, remove the memory slot
cover (complete steps

on page 54 ), and check that the module is inserted completely
into the socket and lined up squarely with the socket latches.
Hard Drive Recovery Utilities
Your computer has been configured with a hard disk partition
to allow you to recover your hard disk drive or reinstall
selected applications and software features or utilities.
It is strongly recommended that you create recovery CDs/
DVDs before using your system. For more information on
creating Recovery media see
“Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs”
on page 64.
Using the HDD Recovery, you can:
❖
Create Hard Drive Recovery CDs or DVDs using a
writable drive.
❖
Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default.
❖
Recover just your C: drive, leaving any other partitions
you may have created intact, for example, a D: drive.
❖
Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default
without the HDD Recovery partition.
