Using Your Recovery CDs
Using the Application Recovery CD(s)
The Application Recovery CD(s) allows you to reinstall individual applications if
they become corrupted or are accidentally erased. Reinstalling an individual
software title may correct a problem you are experiencing with your notebook or
software application; you may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your
hard drive. If you need to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with your
notebook, use the System Recovery CD(s). See “Using the System Recovery
CD(s)” for more information.
You can also use the Application Recovery CD to install Windows 2000 drivers
on your notebook.
