Using the Restore CDs
Use the Restore CDs for the following:
To restore all software including Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me).
To restore lost or destroyed drivers.

Restoring Your Original Software

The Restore CDs contain a copy of all software (e.g., Windows Me, drivers, and application
programs) originally preinstalled on your hard disk. (This process may take about 20 minutes.)
WARNING
If you restore your hard disk, you lose all data that added files, programs, or other data on your
hard disk since you purchased your system. If you must reinstall any software not originally
installed on your hard disk. And you don't want to lose your personal data on your hard disk,
copy it to diskettes before formatting.
Follow these steps to restore your original preinstalled software:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. Insert the Restore CD #1 into the CD/DVD-ROM drive before your computer boots up.
3. Restoration procedures will be started.
4. When the Microsoft Windows Millennium Startup Menu appears, type the number 1 and press
Enter.
CAUTION
If you select "1. RESTORE WINDOWS MILLENNIUM," you will lose all data in the hard
disk (C:).
