Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

During the recovery process your device must first be

fully charged via the USB/AC adaptor.

When you create recovery media, only the operating

system files and drivers originally shipped with the device

are backed up to the external media and can be restored

from this media. Any files that you created are not

backed up on the recovery media. You will need to

separately back up the files you created; for more

information, see “Backing up your work” on page 63.

When you create recovery media, the system will prompt you

to connect a USB flash drive (8GB minimum capacity) to

your device.

All information stored on your USB flash drive will be

erased during the process of creating the recovery

media. Be sure to save the information stored on your

external media to another storage device before

executing this procedure, or use blank media.
