Restoring from recovery media

NOTE
If you have created recovery media for your system, you can
restore your system from such media, if necessary. For
example, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can
restore your system to a new internal storage drive from your
recovery media. For instructions on creating recovery media,
see "Creating recovery media" on page
NOTE
To recover your internal storage drive from recovery media:
1 Make sure your computer is turned off.
2 Do one of the following:
❖
If you are copying the recovery files to DVDs, be sure to
label each DVD in the set sequentially (for example, "1 of
3," "2 of 3," etc.), so that you will know in which order to
insert the discs during recovery.
The recovery process deletes information stored on the
internal storage drive. Be sure to save your work to
external media before executing the recovery (see
"Backing up your work" on page
During the recovery process your computer must be
connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
When you restore your system, only the operating
system files, applications, and drivers originally shipped
with the computer are restored. Any files that you created
are not restored during this process. Be sure to
separately save the files you have created to external
media using Windows

page 83.
If your recovery files are on DVDs, insert the first
recovery DVD into your optical disc drive.
