To Use the System Recovery CD(s)
The System Recovery utility formats your hard disk drive and restores all the
original software applications. Your computer is returned to the original factory
settings.
If you experience a problem with your computer, reinstalling an individual
application or device driver may correct the problem. You may not need to
recover the entire contents of your hard drive.
When you successfully complete your system recovery, you are prompted to
complete the Windows registration process.
