Reinstalling Windows Xp - Samsung NP-G10 User Manual

Reinstalling Windows XP

If the Windows XP does not operate properly due to an error in the system, or if you
have replaced the hard disk drive, you can reinstall Windows XP using the system re-
covery CD.
The System Recovery CD (or media) may not be supplied depending on the
model. In this case, use the Samsung Recovery Solution to restore the sys-
tem.
With the system recovery CD, you can reinstall Windows XP only. To return
the system to the state of shipment, reinstall the device drivers and programs
with the system software Media after reinstalling Windows XP with the system
recovery CD.
Reinstalling Window may delete the data on the hard disk drive such as files,
programs, etc. In order to minimize damage from data loss, please remember
to always back up data. Samsung Electronics is not liable in the case of data
loss, please consult your warranty statement for clarification.
When you have set a booting password
You are asked to enter your booting password after restarting the system dur-
ing the Windows installation. Enter the password to continue to the next steps.
