When the hard disk drive or solid state drive is replaced because of a failure, no
product recovery program is on the new drive. In this case, you must use the
Recovery Disc Set for the computer. Order the Recovery Disc Set and the drive at
the same time so that you can recover the new drive with the pre-installed
software when they arrive.
The Recovery Disc Set consists of the following set of DVDs to restore the
computer to the original factory configuration.
Start Recovery Disc (one disc)
This disc is used to format the hard disk drive and initiate the recovery process.
Operating System Recovery Disc (one or more discs)
This disc restores the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Applications and Drivers Recovery Disc (one or more discs)
This disc restores the pre-installed applications and drivers on the computer.
Supplemental Recovery Disc
This disc contains additional content, such as software for specific models and
updates to the software that was preloaded on the computer. Not all recovery
disc sets come with a Supplemental Recovery Disc.
To restore the computer to the original factory configuration using the recovery
disc set, do the following:
1. Insert the bootable Start Recovery Disc into the optical drive.
2. Start the computer. When the Lenovo logo comes up, immediately press F12;
on the boot sequence menu, select the optical drive as the first boot-up device.
The computer will boot from the Start Recovery Disc. Follow the on-screen
instructions to begin the recovery process.
3. Read the license. If you agree with the terms, select I accept these terms and
conditions and then click Next.
4. Insert the Operating System Recovery Disc when prompted and click Yes to
begin the operating system recovery process.
5. Insert the Applications and Drivers Recovery Disc when prompted and then
click OK to begin the applications and drivers recovery process.
6. If you have a Supplemental Recovery Disc, insert it when prompted and click
Yes. If you do not have a Supplemental Recovery Disc, click No.
