To create recovery media, click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools ➙ Factory Recovery
Disks. Then, follow the instructions on the screen.
Using recovery media
You can use recovery media to restore the computer to the factory default settings only. You can use
recovery media to put the computer in an operational state after all other methods of recovery have failed.
Attention: When you use recovery media to restore the computer to the factory default settings, all the files
currently on the hard disk drive will be deleted and replaced by the factory default settings.
To use recovery media, do the following:
1. Depending on the type of your recovery media, connect the boot medium (memory key or other USB
storage device) to the computer, or insert the boot disc into the external optical drive.
2. Repeatedly press and release the F12 key when turning on the computer. When the Boot Menu window
opens, release the F12 key.
3. Select the desired startup device and press Enter. The restore process begins.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the operation.
Notes:
1. After restoring your computer to the factory default settings, you might have to reinstall device drivers
for some devices. See "Reinstalling preinstalled programs and device drivers" on page 55.
2. Some computers come with Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works preinstalled. If you need to recover
or reinstall your Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works programs, you must use the Microsoft Office CD
or Microsoft Works CD. These discs are provided only with computers preinstalled with Microsoft
Office or Microsoft Works.
Performing backup and recovery operations
The OneKey Recovery Pro program enables you to back up all your hard disk drive contents including the
operating system, data files, software programs, and personal settings. You can designate where the
OneKey Recovery Pro program stores the backup:
• In a protected area of your hard disk drive
• On an attached external USB hard disk drive
• On a network drive
• On recordable discs (a recordable optical drive is required for this option)
After you have backed up the contents on the hard disk drive, you can restore the complete contents of the
hard disk drive, restore only the selected files, or restore only the Windows operating system and programs.
