System Recovery

System Recovery completely erases and reformats the hard disk drive, deleting all data files you have created, and then reinstalls the operating system, programs, and drivers. However, you must reinstall any software that was not installed on the computer at the factory. This includes software that came on media included in the computer accessory box, and any software programs you installed after purchase.

NOTE: Always use the System Restore procedure before you use the System Recovery program. See Microsoft System Restore on page 38.

NOTE: Some features might not be available on systems that are shipped without a version of Microsoft Windows.
