Restoring the factory contents by using Product Recovery discs

When the hard disk drive is replaced because of a failure, no Product Recovery program is on the new hard disk. In this case, you must use the recovery discs for the computer. Order the recovery discs and the hard disk drive at the same time so that you can recover the new hard disk drive with the pre-installed software when they arrive. For information on which discs to order, see “Recovery discs” on page 164.

To install the factory contents by using Product Recovery discs, do the following:

Note

The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.

1.Insert the Rescue and Recovery™ Disk1 of 1 into the optical drive, then restart the computer. This will take several minutes.

2.When the “Welcome to Rescue and Recovery” screen is displayed, press Continue. In the Rescue and Recovery menu, select Restore Your System. A message giving a warning that USB devices used in recovery must be connected when the computer is turned on appears. Click OK.

3.“Restore Your System” window appears. Select Restore my hard drive to the original factory state, and click Next. A warning appears, click Yes. Then next menu appears. Select I do not want to save any files and click Next. Following menu appears with a warning, select Next. A warning appears not to power down the computer during the recovery process. Click OK. One more warning appears saying that recovery is intended only for unrecoverable system problems. Click OK.

4.The Terms and Conditions window appears, select I accept these terms and conditions and press OK. Previous menus may remain on the screen, but the Predesktop installer begins copying files. When this completes, the computer will restart and a window will ask you to insert a Product Recovery Supplemental Disk, if you have one. Press No.

5.You will then be prompted to insert Product Recovery Disk 1 into the optical drive. Insert the Product Recovery Disk 1 into the optical drive, and press OK. In similar fashion, you will be prompted to insert the remaining recovery discs until all the files are copied.

6.After all the files are copied, the computer will restart and return to the “Welcome to Rescue and Recovery” screen where a window “Recovering your system, this may take several minutes” appears and .IMZ files are processed.
