Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
Recovering without changing the internal storage drive partitions
Recovering without changing the internal storage drive partitions
deletes all information stored on the C: drive. Be sure to save your
work to external media before executing the recovery (see
). If you have created other partitions
(for example, a D: drive), those partitions will remain intact and any
information on them will not be affected.
You can recover the C: drive without affecting other partitions by
either using the utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage
drive or by using recovery DVDs/media, if you have created such
media. To recover using the first method, follow the procedure
below. To recover using the second method, see
recovery DVDs/media” on page 53

drive:
1
