On some models, you can perform a recovery from
the partition on the hard drive, accessed by
pressing either the Start button or
f11
. This restores the computer
to its factory condition.
To restore the system from the partition, follow these steps:
1.
Access Recovery Manager in
either of the following ways:
?
Select
Start
>
All Programs
>
Recovery Manager
>
Recovery Manager
.
- or -
?
Turn on or restart the computer, and then press
esc
while the "Press the ESC key for
Startup Menu" message is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Then, press
f11
while the
"Press <F11> for recovery" message
is displayed on the screen.
2.
Click
System Recovery
in the
Recovery Manager
window.
3.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
