98 - Restoring Your Pre-installed Software

The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk

and prevent it from being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are
absolutely certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.

The Partition Creation utility allows you to create a new D: partition or resize existing

partitions on your hard disk. NOTE: Creating or resizing partitions with this utility will cause
all data on the hard disk to be completely erased.

The Diagnostics utility allows the IT professional to determine device status/condition by

executing diagnostics tests on selected system components.

Methods for accessing the utilities

Certain LifeBook models have the Recovery and Utility applets pre-installed on a hidden drive. Other
systems require that the Recovery and Utility disc be used (or in the event the hard disk has been
reformatted).

In order to determine the method for accessing the Recovery and Utility applet, perform the

following procedures in order.

Determining whether Recovery and Utility is pre-loaded

1

Turn on or reboot your system. When the Fujitsu logo appears, press [F12] key.

2

From the Boot Menu that appears, check whether the <Recovery and Utility> option is present. If it is not
present, it means that the utility must be used from the disc. Proceed to “Running Recovery and Utility from the
disc” if <Reco
very and Utility> is unavailable.

Running Recovery and Utility from hard disk

1

Cursor down to <Recovery and Utility> and press the [Enter] key.

2

While the files are being loaded from the disc, a progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen.

3

When the System Recovery Options dialog opens, select a new keyboard layout, if necessary, then click [Next].

4

When the Operating System dialog appears, click [Next].

5

If necessary, enter your password, then click [OK].

6

When System Recovery Options window appears, click on Recovery and Utility.
