Recovering your system

English

Using the hidden partition

The recovery partition includes an image of the operating system,
drivers, and utilities installed on your system at the factory. The
recovery partition provides a comprehensive recovery solution that
quickly restores your system’s software to its original working state,
provided that your hard disk drive is in good working order. Before
using the recovery partition, copy your data files (such as Outlook
PST files) to a USB device or to a network drive and make note of any
customized configuration settings (such as network settings).

DO NOT delete the partition named “RECOVERY.” The recovery
partition is created at the factory and cannot be restored by the
user if deleted. Take your system to an authorized ASUS service
center if you have problems with the recovery process.

1. Press <F9> during bootup (requires a recovery partition).

2. The ASUS Recovery System window appears. Select Recover
system to a partition.

3. Select a partition with min. 20GB space and click Next.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery
process.

5. Restart the computer after the system recovery is completed.

6. Set up your language, time zone, keyboard, computer name, and
user name to enter the Windows® OS.
