Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
When you create a recovery drive (USB flash), only the
operating system files and drivers originally shipped with
the computer are backed up to the USB flash drive and
can be restored from this drive. Any files that you created
are not backed up on the recovery drive. You will need to
separately back up the files you created; for more
information, see
“Backing up your work” on page 69
.
To create a recovery drive:
1
Connect a USB flash drive to your computer.
