Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

and then check that the module is inserted completely into the 
socket and lined up squarely with the socket latches.

From time to time, Windows

®

 will display a pop-up that says, 

“Windows

®

 needs your permission to continue.” This is a security 

feature to prevent programs or people from doing things on your 
computer without your permission. If you were trying to perform the 
action, click Continue; otherwise, click Cancel. If unsure, cancel and 
try again.

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

Your computer includes recovery utilities to allow you to recover 
your internal storage drive if necessary. 

The following internal storage drive recovery options are available:

Recovery option

Description

Recover to out-of-box 
state

This option restores the original factory image to your 
internal storage drive, returning your computer to its out-
of-box state. (Recommended recovery method)

See 

“Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended 

recovery method)” on page 67

.

Recover to a custom 
size partition

This option allows you to specify a custom size for the 
C: partition and then restores your C: drive to its out-of-
box state. Note: With this option, any changes you made 
to the C: drive and any other drive partitions you may 
have created are deleted.

See 

“Recovering to a custom size partition” on page 69

.

Recover without 
changing the internal 
storage drive partitions

This option recovers just your C: drive, leaving any other 
partitions you may have created (for example, a D: drive) 
intact.

See 

“Recovering without changing the internal storage 

drive partitions” on page 72

.

Restore from recovery 
media

If you have created recovery media (strongly 
recommended), you can recover your system even if the 
recovery utilities have been deleted from your internal 
storage drive or if you have replaced your computer’s 
internal storage drive. 

See 

“Creating recovery media” on page 74

 and 

“Restoring from recovery media” on page 75
