1 Overview of the variants for restoring installed software

If your operating system should at some point fail to start, or if faults should occur on
your hard drive, it may be necessary to reinstall the pre-installed software.
IMPORTANT! Create backup copies of your files on a regular basis. If data is corrupted
or lost, you can restore your applications using these disks. However, if
you do not have backup copies of your own data files, they cannot be
restored.
We strongly recommend that, as far as is possible, you back up all your
data files prior to reinstalling the operating system as all files will be
wiped from the hard disk in the course of the restore process. You must
reinstall all programs you have installed since purchasing your machine
and then restore your data files using the backup copies. No liability
whatsoever is accepted for errors or loss of data as a consequence of
this.
TIP!
If your PC is equipped with a CD/DVD burner, use this to create the
backup copies of your data. Burn a data CD/DVD. An external USB bulk
memory (hard disk or memory stick) is a useful expansion to your PC.
Below are a few procedures to enable you to restore the pre-installed software for your
system. Depending on the severity of the fault, we recommend you use the variants one
after each other until the problem is solved.
If your system restore disks (Fujitsu Siemens Product Recovery CD/DVD, Drivers &
Utilities CD/DVD, Drivers / Applications CDs/DVDs) are available, the functionality of
the system restore disks generated by the CD/DVD burner using the "Fujitsu Siemens
Computers Recovery" program is not available.
1.
Restoration by activating a "Restore Point"
Here the installed programs and your files created with them on your machine are
restored to the time of the selected restore point.
2.
Restoring using the "Fujitsu Siemens Computers Recovery" program
Here you have the facility to back up and restore the as-delivered status of the
hard disk.
Note:
The "Fujitsu Siemens Computers Recovery" program also offers you the
one-off facility to create system restore disks. We strongly recommend
that you back up the factory default settings of the hard disk onto DVDs.
Only DVD+R or DVD-R media are to be used for backups.
