About the System Recovery DVD
A System Recovery DVD comes with your computer. The System Recovery DVD enables you to format your hard disk drive
and restore the operating system and all original, preinstalled programs. If the operating system or programs become
corrupted or are erased, you can restore your computer to the original factory settings.
You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If you experience a problem with your computer,
reinstalling an individual device driver or program may correct the problem. Use the Application Recovery Utility, located on
the System Recovery DVD, to reinstall individual programs and device drivers. See
Using the Application Recovery Utility
for
more information.
The System Recovery process removes all programs that you may have installed since you started using your
computer. Reinstall any program that was not included with the computer when you purchased it.
