Using the Application Recovery CD(s)
The Application Recovery CD utility enables you to reinstall your system’s
original software, drivers, and to repair software applications if they become
corrupted or are erased. You can reinstall a specific application or driver to
correct a problem that you are experiencing with your computer or peripheral
hardware. You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive to
correct certain problems. You must be in Windows to run the Application
Recovery CD utility.
