Starting system recovery using
recovery CDs
The recovery CDs provide two recovery options:
■
Standard Recovery: This is a non-
destructive recovery, which recovers factory-
shipped programs, drivers, and the operating
system without affecting any data files that you
may have created since purchasing this PC.
Some data files may be difficult to find after
the system recovery, so it is best to back up
all hard disk files before performing a system
recovery.
■
Full System Recovery: This recovery
function completely erases and reformats the
hard disk drive. The program performs a full
system recovery to reinstall the operating
system, programs, and drivers from the
recovery CDs. However, you must reinstall any
software that was not installed on the PC at the
factory. This includes software that came on
CDs included in the PC accessory box, and
software programs you installed since your
purchase.
