Using recovery media

To use recovery media on the Windows 7 operating system, do the following:

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.

3.Select the desired startup device and press Enter. The restore process begins.

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 56.

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)
