To use the System Recovery CD(s)
The System Recovery utility formats your hard disk drive and restores all
original software applications. 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 notebook if they become corrupted or
erased. You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If
you experience a problem with your notebook, reinstalling an individual device
driver or software title may correct the problem. Use the Application Recovery
CD(s) to reinstall individual applications or use the Driver Recovery CD(s) to
reinstall device drivers. See “To use the Application Recovery CD(s)” or “To use
the Driver Recovery CD(s)” for more information.
The System Recovery CD contains a backup copy of all the software originally
installed on your hard disk drive. It can be used only to recover the hard disk of
the notebook you purchased.
