RECOVERY CD-ROM

Included with your notebook (in the
Accessories box) is an Emergency Recovery
CD-ROM with the following content:
A backup copy of the software originally
installed on your new Fujitsu LifeBook (can
only be used on the listed LifeBook models).
Sets of device drivers and utilities (in specific
directories) that are unique to your notebook
configuration for use as documented below.
Read-me files that provide additional use
information for items on this CD-ROM.
If you have access to the internet, visit the
Fujitsu PC Corporation Web Site at
www.8fujitsu.com to check for the most
current information and hints on how to
perform recovery and system updates.
Restoring Your Pre-installed
Software from CD-ROM
The Emergency Recovery CD-ROM enables
restoration of your notebook disk drive con-
tents as they were originally shipped from the
114
factory. Most often this is necessary if files or
software programs (only those files/programs
that came pre-installed) become corrupt or
accidentally erased.
You have two options available when
performing recovery:
1. Recover Hard Drive without Format. This
choice replaces all the original factory
installed files and program structures without
eliminating your data files. You will have to
re-install any software that was not included
with the computer when you bought it (but
your data will be intact as long as the installa-
tion of the additional programs is performed
in the same manner).
2. Format and Recover Hard Drive. This choice
removes all the information on the hard disk.
If you choose this option, you will lose any
software you have installed and any other
files you created since you setup your com-
puter. You will have to re-install any software
that was not included with the computer
when you bought it.
P O I N T
It is recommended that you back-up all
data files prior to performing either of
the recovery options.
P O I N T
Make certain you have your Operating
System Product ID # available (from the
Certificate of Authenticity) prior to per-
forming recovery. Once the process is
complete and you re-start your note-
book, you will be required to perform all
the setup steps as when the computer
was first purchased. (See the section
Starting Your LifeBook for the First Time.)
