Now that you are leaving La Salle High School, you may re-image your tablet. This will remove all La Salle High School restrictions and software and delete all data on your tablet. Make sure your data is backed up prior to proceeding.
With this guide, you should have received a USB flash drive which contains a restore image. This drive is your recovery media. It will be used to restore your system to its factory state. It is important that you do not modify or save any files on your recovery media. Doing so may prevent you from being able to restore your computer.
Restoring your tablet to its original state requires three general steps, listed below.
The order of these steps is important. If you do not restore your BIOS to factory defaults, you will not be able to restore your operating system; if you do not restore the operating system, you cannot configure it!
Some seniors have reported issues with wireless not working on their laptop's factory image. To fix the issue, you need to update your wireless driver. Follow these steps:
The first step to restoring your tablet is to reset the BIOS settings. At La Salle, we restrict settings in the BIOS to improve security. In order for you to be able to boot your recovery media, you need to remove these restrictions. If your hard drive is encrypted, all of your data will be inaccessible after this step!
The second step to restoring your tablet is to restore the operating system. This step will delete all data on your computer and remove all La Salle High School restrictions. The recovery software we’ll use is called Clonezilla, which is available from clonezilla.org. Clonezilla will allow you to restore the Lenovo factory image to your computer.
The last step in restoring your computer to defaults is to configure your newly-installed operating system. This is fairly simple, and can probably be done without using this guide.
