Using the Operating System Media

Before you Begin
If you are considering reinstalling the Windows operating system to correct a
problem with a newly installed driver, first try using Windows Device Driver
Rollback. See "Returning to a Previous Device Driver Version" on page 52. If
Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, then use Microsoft
Windows System Restore to return your operating system to the operating
state it was in before you installed the new device driver. See "Using Microsoft
Windows System Restore" on page 54.
NOTICE:
Before performing the installation, back up all data files on your primary
hard drive. For conventional hard drive configurations, the primary hard drive is the
first drive detected by the computer.
To reinstall Windows, you need the Dell™ Operating System media and the
Dell Drivers and Utilities media.
