Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
You can recover the factory default software, while the computer
will attempt to back up all of the data from the C:\Users using the
utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage drive:
TECHNICAL NOTE: The data from C:\Users will be copied into the
C:\backup%current date% folder. The directory structure will be
retained, however all of the data will be moved to this folder during
the recovery process. As a result, any user can access the folders
under C:\backup%current date%. To return the data to your private
account, you will need to recreate a new account, and drag and drop
the data into your personal folders.
