Restoring from a generic image

If the image from which you are restoring was made from the specific machine, refer to the
appropriate procedure.

an image from a different location, such as a network connected drive or another connected USB
drive, alter the steps in this task as appropriate. There can be multiple versions of the generic recovery
disk image on the Recovery Flash Drive. Refer to related topics in "K2 Release Notes" to determine
which version you should use.
