Restoring Your Operating System
You can restore your operating system by using Microsoft Windows XP System Restore to return
your computer to an earlier operating state without affecting data files.
Using Microsoft Windows XP System Restore
The Microsoft Windows XP operating system provides System Restore to allow you to return
your computer to an earlier operating state if changes to the hardware, software, or other system
settings have left the computer in an undesirable operating state. See the Windows Help and
Support Center for information on using System Restore. To access help, see page 12.
NOTICE:
Make regular backups of your data files. System Restore does not monitor your data files or
recover them.
NOTE:
The procedures in this document were written for the Windows default view, so they may not
work if you set your Dell™ computer to the Windows Classic view.
