Follow the following precautions during recovery.
Follow the steps in the manual and on the recovery screen
During recovery, be sure to follow the steps in this manual and on the recovery
screen. Missing a step, pressing a key other than the indicated key, or changing the
procedure may result in improper recovery.
Disconnect peripheral devices
Disconnect peripheral devices to return to the state at time of purchase (excluding
the optical drive used for recovery).
Turn on the power
Please wait at least five seconds before turning the power on again. If the power
shutdown resulted from removing the power cord or a tripped circuit breaker, please
wait for at least 90 seconds with the power cord disconnected, reconnect the power
cord, and then turn the power on again.
Do not interrupt recovery
Do not interrupt the recovery process once it has started. The setup program is
running normally even if the screen appears to stop, so please wait without
interrupting the recovery. If you interrupt, the recovery may not be performed
correctly, so you have to start over from the beginning.
When recovery cannot be performed
If [Recovery could not be completed.] is displayed, it is possible that model information

Do not leave the computer alone during recovery
Do not leave the computer unattended until the recovery has completed including
passing all the screens that require your key operations, and power OFF.
