Getting Started

When you select the 4 option from the menu, the HDD Recovery Area on your HDD will be deleted. Then, in the recovery process, all partitions are put into one partition and the recovery is performed. You cannot any longer execute the recovery action using the steps described in the section "Restoring the preinstalled software from the Recovery HDD." So be careful when using the 4 option.
