Your notebook is supplied with a backup partition on the hard disk drive which contains all data
you may need in order to restore your configuration as it was when leaving the factory. This
partition occupies about 10 GB of your hard disk drive.
The NEC Recovery Program can restore your notebook to the same state as when you
purchased it, while giving you an option to retain all settings and personal data for later
retrieval.
The procedure described below is only applicable if your backup data is stored on your
notebook’s hard disk. If you wish to restore your notebook using Recovery DVD, please see
note below.
