Using the System Recovery CD(s)

The System Recovery CD(s) enables you to format your hard disk and restore all
original software programs. Your computer is returned to the original factory
settings.

You can use the System Recovery CD(s) to reinstall the operating system and
software titles that shipped with your computer if they become corrupted or are
erased. You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If

Your system includes one or more Application Recovery CDs. Insert Application
Recovery CD No. 1 to start the application or driver recovery process. You are
prompted to insert the next CD(s), depending on the application or driver you want to
restore.

The System Recovery process removes all software that you may have
installed since you started using your computer. Reinstall any software
programs that were not included with the computer when you purchased it.
