notebook and restart it.

stick.

box and click the Next button.
NOTE
Once you have used the System Recovery Media, you will need to reinstall any
additional software and hardware that you may have added. Please refer to the
documentation supplied with those products for further help.
7. From this menu you will now be presented with a few options.
Choose the Start Full Destructive Recovery option to restore
your notebook and click the Next button.

is selected and click on the Next button. This option also needs to
be selected if you are using the USB stick recovery method.
