Turn off the computer if it is not already off.

Disconnect all connected devices and cables such as the Personal Media Drive, USB drives, printer, and fax. Remove media from drives. Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord.

Turn on the computer and immediately press the F11 key repeatedly , about once every second, until Recovery Manager opens.
 
Click Next.
 
A Microsoft System Restore screen opens.

Select No, I would like to see other options , and then click Next.
 
A System recovery screen opens.

Click Yes , and Next to continue the recovery process.

The Recovery Manager gives you the option of backing up your data files.

To continue recovery, select No , and then click Next.

A recovery progress screen opens. Wait while files are restored.

When System Recovery is complete, click Finish.
