Using the Installed System Recovery Options

If you or your computer’s manufacturer installed the system recovery options, you can access them on your hard drive.

To go to the system recovery options when they are installed:

1       Remove all discs from your computer.

2       Restart your computer.

3       If you have more than one operating system on your computer, when a list of the available operating systems appears, use the arrow keys to select the version of Windows to start. Press Enter.

4       Before the Windows startup screen appears, begin pressing the F8 key.

5       Use the arrow keys to select Repair your computer.

NOTE:   If "Repair your computer" does not appear, the system recovery options are not installed on your computer. For more information, see Using the System Recovery Options from an Installation Disc.

6       Press Enter.

7       Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

8       Select a user name and enter the password. Click Next.

9       From the System Recovery Options menu, choose a tool to open it.
