USING RECOVERY FROM HDD

Buying computer nowadays has a separate partition in the HDD for you to use if something happens to your operating system (xp or vista) and it’s pretty easy to access. No need for the original operating system CD to use once you access this. The only disadvantage is if this partition in the HDD was corrupted; you need to use the original CDS to reinstall the operating system again. Make sure to back up your files before doing these steps so you won’t lose any precious information from your computer.

DELL COMPUTERS:

1. Select Restore
2. Press Confirm for data deletion and HDD will be formatted to factory settings
3. Finish then restart
For Vista, simply pressing F8 during the Dell logo screen, select Repair your computer, select the username and password, select Dell Fartory Image.

HP COMPUTERS:
Press F11, you get 3 choices for PC RECOVERY
1. R for recovery console

3. Q for Quit

TOSHIBA COMPUTERS:
Press 0 (zero) then turn the pc off, turn it back on still pressing it down firmly.
When you see the Toshiba logo, start tapping 0 (zero) until you hear the beeping sound.
