Using the Recovery DVD
The Recovery DVD provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly
restores the pure operating system without drivers and utilities being installed.
Before using the Recovery DVD, copy your data files to a USB storage device or
to a network drive and make note of any customized configuration settings (such
as network settings).
When you restore your Eee PC to the pure operating system, no drivers
and utilities are installed. You need to manually install the drivers and
utilities you want on your Eee PC.
Disable Boot Booster in BIOS setup before you perform system recovery.

Connect an external optical drive to your Eee PC and insert the Recovery
DVD into the optical drive (System needs to be powered ON).

to boot from the optical drive. Press

Options are:
Recover system to a partition
This option will delete only the partition you select from below, allowing
you to keep other partitions. Select a partition and click NEXT.
Recover system to entire HD
This option will delete all partitions from your hard disk drive and restore
the operating system. Select and click Yes.
If you select Recover system to entire HD, the entire hard disk drive will
be a partition and the F9 recovery function will no longer exist. Therefore,
we highly recommend that you use the F9 recovery to restore the system.

You will lose all your data during the system recovery. Ensure that you
make a backup of it before recovering the system.
