partitions you may have created intact.

recover the C: drive to its out-of-box state and specify a
custom size for the C: drive. Note: This option deletes all
other partitions from the drive.

process.
When the process is complete, a message displays, indicating
that the drive has been recovered.
10 Press any key on the keyboard to restart the computer.
Erasing the Internal Storage Drive
Erasing the internal storage drive will delete all data on the drive,
including the partitions. Be sure to create recovery DVDs/media and
back up your data to external media before erasing the internal
storage drive.
If you want to restore the internal storage drive, use one of the
recovery options instead of erasing the drive. For more information,
see “Recovering the Internal Storage Drive” on page 58.

drive or on your recovery DVDs/media.
