Using the Product Recovery CD-ROMs

between 10 to 20 minutes to
complete.

Recovery CD (vol. 2 of 2) from
®
Windows
. The application will
not run from DOS.

you modify partition settings). Therefore, before applying a system recovery, copy your data to an external disk.

recovery.

CAUTION: when the recovery is performed, you must remove the recovery CD-ROM from the drive before
restarting the computer. If the CD-ROM is still in the drive, you will restart a recovery process.
