The Recovery DVD includes an image of the operating system, drivers, and utilities installed on your

Notebook PC at the factory. The Recovery DVD provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly

restores your Notebook PC’s software to its original working state, provided that your hard disk drive

tem recovery on your notebook PC. According to Microsoft, you may lose important

data because of setting up Windows Vista on the wrong disk drive or formatting the
