Recovery Guide

System Recovery (Restore your laptop operating system)

When something is going wrong with the laptop operating system, the storage of the

laptop has 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.

Caution



Once the “Recovery” is selected, your

personal data and les will be deleted after

the laptop starts restoring, and the operating

system will be reset to factory default

settings.

The recovery will be activated and you will see

the option buttons on the window. Click on

“Recovery” to start it.

All ready to go

Make sure your PC is plugged in. This will take a few minutes.

A progress indicator bar will show on the

window when the recovery process is running.

Please make sure the AC-adapter is plugged in

and do not turn off the laptop.

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.
