Using the Application Recovery CD(s)
The Application Recovery CDs allow you to reinstall individual applications and
device drivers if they are corrupted or accidentally erased. Reinstalling an
individual device driver or software title may correct a problem you are
experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to recover the entire
contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that
shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD. See "Using the
System Recovery CD(s)" on page 99.
