Restoring Your Operating System
You can restore your operating system in the following ways:
• Microsoft Windows XP System Restore and Microsoft Windows Vista
System Restore return your computer to an earlier operating state without
affecting data files. Use System Restore as the first solution for restoring
your operating system and preserving data files.
• If you received an Operating System media with your computer, you can
use it to restore your operating system. However, using the Operating
System media also deletes all data on the hard drive. Use the media only if
System Restore did not resolve your operating system problem.
