System Recovery

After you try restarting your computer, and reinstalling problem software, you can run system recovery as a last resort to reinstall the factory-installed operating system, software programs, and hardware drivers.

The system recovery process completely erases and reformats the hard disk drive, deleting all data files you created since purchase. It then reinstalls the operating system, programs, and drivers.

You must reinstall any software that was not installed on the computer at the factory. This includes software that came on CDs included in the computer accessory box, and software programs you installed after purchase.

Which recovery option to choose?

Attempt a system recovery in the following order:

1Through the Windows Vista Start menu

2By pressing the space bar on the keyboard during startup (if you cannot get to the desktop)

3From the system recovery disc you made

4From the Windows OS disc included with your computer
