Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery Hard Disk Drive

A portion of the total Hard Disk Drive space is configured as a hidden recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore pre-installed software in the event of a problem.

If you subsequently set up your Hard Disk Drive again, do not change, delete or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual, otherwise you may find that space for the required software is not available.

In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the partitions on your Hard Disk Drive, you may find that it becomes impossible to setup your computer.

Make sure that the AC adaptor is connected during the restoring process.

When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk may be reformatted and all data may be lost.
