Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
If you have created a recovery drive for your system, you can
restore your system from this drive, if necessary. For
example, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can
restore your system to a new internal storage drive from your
recovery drive. For instructions on creating a recovery drive,
see “Creating a recovery drive” on page 46.
When you restore your system, only the operating
system files and drivers originally shipped with the
computer are restored. Any files that you created are not
restored during this process. Be sure to separately save
the files you have created to external media using
Windows or another backup program. For more
information, see “Backing up your work” on page 66.
