Creating and using recovery media

You can use recovery media to restore the hard disk drive to the factory default settings. Recovery media are useful if you transfer the computer to another area, sell the computer, recycle the computer, or put the computer in an operational state after all other methods of recovery have failed. As a precautionary measure, it is important to create recovery media as early as possible.

Note: The recovery operations you can perform using recovery media vary depending on the operating system from which the recovery media were created. The recovery media might contain a boot medium and a data medium. Your Microsoft Windows license permits you to create only one data medium, so it is important that you store the recovery media in a safe place after you have made them.

Creating recovery media

This section provides instructions on how to create recovery media on different operating systems.

Note: On the Windows 7 operating system, you can create recovery media using discs or external USB storage devices. On the Windows XP operating system, you can create recovery media using discs only.

vTo create recovery media on the Windows 7 operating system, click Start → All Programs → Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools → Factory Recovery Disks. Then, follow the instructions on the screen.
