Recovering your system
Using the Recovery �V� �V�
The Recovery DVD includes an image of the operating system,
installed on your system at the factory. The Recovery DVD, working
with the Support DVD, provides a comprehensive recovery
solution that quickly restores your system to its original working
state, provided that your hard disk drive is in good working order.
Before using the Recovery DVD, copy your data files (such as
Outlook PST files) to floppy disks or to a network drive and make
note of any customized configuration settings (such as network
settings).
1. Insert the Recovery DVD into the optical drive (System needs
to be powered ON).

BIOS setup. Go to Boot > Boot Device Priority and select
the optical drive (may be labeled as “CDROM:XXXX”) as the
1st Boot Device.
3. Press <F10> to save the configuration and reboot from the
Recovery DVD.
4. Select a partition option and click Next. Partition options:
Recover system to a partition only.
This option will delete only the partition you select from
below, allowing you to keep other partitions, and create a
new system partition as drive “C”.
Recover system to entire HD.
This option will delete all partitions from your hard disk drive
and create a new system partition as drive “C”.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery
process.
You will lose all your data during the system recovery. Ensure
