Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
from CD-ROM
The Recovery CD-Rom enables restoration of
your notebook disk drive contents as they were
originally shipped from the factory. Most often
this is necessary if files or software programs
(only those files/programs that came pre-
installed) become corrupted or accidentally
erased.
You have two options available when perform-
ing recovery:
1. Recover Hard Drive without Format
This choice replaces all the original factory
installed files and program structures with-
out eliminating your data files. You will have
to re-install any software that was not inc lud-
ed with the computer when you bought it
(but your data will be intact as long as the
installation of the additional programs is
performed in the same manner).

2. Format and Recover Hard Drive
WARNING: This choice removes all the informa-
tion 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
computer. 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.
