a hidden partition containing a full back up image of the operating system that can be used to

restore the system to factory default settings.

Recovery Guide

Note

˙If the storage has been switched or the partition deleted, the recovery option will no longer be

available and a recovery service will be needed.

˙The recovery function is only available on devices with O/S preinstalled. Devices with DOS do not

have the recovery function.

The system recovery feature is preinstalled before the laptop is shipped from the factory. The

option menu allows you to launch the Windows recovery tool to reinstall the operating system to

factory default.
