Starting the recovery from recovery discs

Use the following steps to recover the computer from a set of recovery discs (either CDs or DVDs):


1. Turn on the computer, if it is not already on, and insert the first recovery disc labeled #1.


2. After the first disc is in the drive and the drive is closed, turn off the computer by pressing and holding

the power button.


3. With the computer off, disconnect all connected devices and cables such as the Personal Media Drive, USB

drives, printer, and fax. Remove media from drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware. Do not

disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord .


4. Turn on the computer. The computer opens the Recovery Manager program.


5. By default the Recovery Manager will be set to run a System Recovery from the inserted recovery disc. Click

Next .


6. On the screen that prompts for Microsoft System Restore select No , and then click Next .


7. The Recovery Manager gives you the option of backing up your data files. To do so, read Backing up your files

.
If you do not want to backup your files, select No , and then click Next .


8. Read and respond to the screens as they appear. If a screen prompts for a disc, insert the next disc. In some

cases, you may have to repeatedly insert the same disc several times before the screen allows you to continue.


9. After the System Recovery is complete, the computer restarts and continues into Windows setup. Complete the

setup screens and wait until the computer finishes the setup. Then, turn off the computer, reconnect all

peripheral devices, and turn on the computer.


10. Before using the computer, update and protect your computer. Reinstall any virus and security software that

was installed before the System Recovery.


11. Reinstall any software applications that were after purchasing the computer, and any files that were backed

up.
