Recovering the system without changing partition sizes

To completely restore the original software, drivers and settings on your computer without changing the partition
sizes, choose the first option and apply a Default System Drive Recovery. Performing this recovery means that you will
lose all the data stored on your C: drive, but data on your D: drive will remain.
You should allow one hour for the recovery process.
To perform the Default System Drive Recovery, proceed as follows:
1 Select the button next to Default System Drive Recovery (Recommended).
2 Click Next.
You are asked if you are sure you want to recover the system.
3 To start the procedure, click Next.
4 Click Yes to confirm.
The recovery process starts.
5 Follow the instructions onscreen.
6 When the process is finished, click OK.
7 Click Next in the window that appears.
The system ejects the disc automatically.
8 Remove the disc, close the drive and click Finish.
Your system is restored to its initial settings and reboots automatically.
