Solving Problems with Your Computer

Recovering and Reinstalling Software

7.When the Recovery CD dialog box appears, follow the displayed instructions. If prompted, accept the recommended partition size. If you install the factory software, the recovery process can take up to 15 minutes.

If you want to create the hibernate partition without installing the factory software, click Advanced and select not to install the operating system.

If your hard disk is partitioned into several drives, you can install the factory software on drive C without affecting other drives. Click Advanced and select to restore only the C partition.

8.When prompted to reboot the computer, press CTRL+ALT+DEL and follow any instructions that appear.

You can find more details about recovering the factory installation of Windows on the Recovery CD: the file readme.txt is in the CD's root directory.
