Recovery Partition (R-P): The R-P is preinstalled by the manufacturer on the hard disk drive to allow the user to restore the computer system back to its original state. This function is typically used in cases of a non-repairable computer virus or system malfunction. The R-P is hidden from the user.

The default mode is non-destructive. In this mode, the data in U-P stays intact. If the user clicks Next, the non-destructive recovery will take place. (see following screen image)
