The RestorePlus! process reinstalls the Windows operating system and device drivers (for devices
included with the system) to a near-factory state. The process does not back up or recover data on
the hard drive. Some application software might not be restored using this process and must be
installed from the appropriate application CD.
CAUTION:
regularly to avoid loss.
