1.Depending on the type of your recovery media, connect the boot medium (memory key or other USB storage device) to the computer, or insert the boot disc into the optical drive.

2.Repeatedly press and release the F12 key when turning on the computer. When the Please select boot device window opens, release the F12 key.

Note: After restoring your computer hard disk drive to the factory default state, you might have to reinstall device drivers for some devices. See “Reinstalling device drivers” on page 78.

Performing backup and recovery operations

The Rescue and Recovery program enables you to back up all your hard disk drive contents including the operating system, data files, software programs, and personal settings. You can designate where the Rescue and Recovery program stores the backup:

•In a protected area of your hard disk drive

•On the secondary hard disk drive if a secondary hard disk drive is installed in your computer

•On an attached external USB hard disk drive

•On a network drive

•On recordable discs (a recordable optical drive is required for this option)

After you have backed up the contents of the hard disk drive, you can restore the complete contents of the hard disk drive, restore selected files only, or restore the Windows operating system and applications only while keeping the other data on your hard disk drive.
