Restoring data
If you experience a problem, you can use the Windows Recovery Environment to repair your
Windows 7 files, or you can restore your computer to the state it was in when it left the
factory. If a serious problem occurs and Windows 7 will not restart, the Windows Recovery
Environment Repair will automatically start. Additionally, you can create your own backup
data archives and restore those later. For more information, see “Creating a backup archive”
on page 69.
Using Windows Recovery Environment
When using the Windows Recovery Environment, you will need a keyboard connected to
the tablet.
To repair Windows 7 files
1. After your tablet restarts after the initial BIOS display screen, press and hold the F8 key.
2. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, select Repair your computer and press the
Enter key.
3. Select a keyboard layout and click Next.
4. Select a user name and enter the password, and then click OK.
5. On the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
