System Recovery Options

About 1.5GB hidden partition is allocated on the hard disk drive for the

System Recovery Options.
This partition stores files which can be used to repair the system in the

event of a problem.

The System Recovery Options feature is installed on the hard disk when

shipped from the factory. The System Recovery Options menu includes

tools to repair startup problems, run diagnostics or restore the system.
See the Windows Help and Support content for more information about

The System Recovery Options can also be run manually to repair

problems.

repeatedly press the F8 key.

3. The Advanced Boot Options menu will be displayed.

Use the arrow keys to select Repair Your Computer and press

ENTER.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions from this point onward.
