To create Product Recovery discs, do the following:

2.Follow the instructions on the screen.

To use Product Recovery discs, do the following:

Attention: When you restore the factory contents from the Product Recovery discs, all files currently on the hard disk will be deleted and replaced by the original factory contents. During the restore process, you will be given the opportunity to save one or more files currently on your hard disk drive to other media before any data is removed.

1.Insert the Rescue and Recovery disc into your CD or DVD drive.

2.Restart your computer.

3.After a short delay, the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens.

Note: If the Rescue and Recovery workspace fails to open, you might not have your startup device (CD drive or DVD drive) set correctly in your BIOS startup sequence. See “Setting a rescue device in the startup sequence” on page 18 for more information.

4.In the Rescue and Recovery menu, click Restore your system.

5.Click Restore my hard drive to the original factory state and then click Next.

6.Follow the instructions on the screen. Insert the appropriate Product Recovery disc when prompted.

Note: After restoring your hard disk to the original factory content, you might have to reinstall some software or drivers. See ″Post-recovery notes″ on page 15 for details.
