Recovery - 85

• Reinstall drivers or applications: Click Contents. A list of software

and device drivers opens.

• Click the install icon for the item you want to install, then follow the

on-screen prompts to complete the installation. Repeat this step for
each item you want to reinstall.

Returning your system to its factory condition

If your computer experiences problems that are not recoverable by other
methods, you may need to reinstall everything to return your system to its
factory condition. You can reinstall using either your hard drive or the
recovery discs you have created.

Caution: This complete recovery deletes everything on your hard
drive, then reinstalls Windows and all software and drivers that
were pre-installed on your system. If you can access important
files on your hard drive, back them up now.

• If you can still run Windows, see “Recovering from within Windows

below.

• If you cannot run Windows and your original hard drive is still working,

see “Recovering from the hard drive during startup” on page 87.

• If you cannot run Windows and your original hard drive has been

completely re-formatted or you have installed a replacement hard drive,
see “Recovering from your recovery backup” on page 87.
