Software CDs
Depending on the model you purchased, additional program CDs may be
included with your computer.
Recovery CDs
Only computers equipped with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional
operating system come with Recovery CDs. Computers with the Microsoft®
Windows® XP operating system feature a Hard Disk Drive recovery process that
eliminates the need for Recovery CDs.
❑
Application Recovery CDs — Enables you to reinstall individual programs
and device drivers.
❑
System Recovery CDs — Enables you to restore the operating system and
programs that shipped with your computer. This CD restores your computer
to its original factory settings, so user data and programs installed since you
started using your computer will be lost.
