System Recovery

Before you start

Your system includes Recovery CD-ROMs. Follow the steps in the
appropriate section below to reinstall the operating system, the system
software, or add a new hard disk.
The factory has pre-partitioned your system's hard disk, so you may directly
install the system software; however, if you change a new hard disk, you must
first partition it.
If you reinstall your operating system, all of the data originally on the
hard disk will be overwritten. Before reinstalling the operating system,
carefully backup any important data.
Your system is shipped with Recovery CD-ROMs. Before reinstalling, note the
CD-ROM labels.
Caution: When you re-install by Recovery CD, we STRONGLY recommend
connecting the AC adapter (do NOT use battery alone).
Recovering Windows and Original Software
If your Windows operating system is lost or damaged, use the Recovery
CD.
