Restoring the Operating System for Windows Vista Systems

The Recovery and Utility disc contains four utilities:
• The Recovery utility allows you to restore the system operating system (OS). The restored OS is
the same one that was originally installed on the hard disk drive. After the OS is restored, you will
need to reinstall the drivers and applications from the Drivers and Applications Restore disc and
from any application discs that were bundled with the system when you purchased it.
• The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk and
prevent it from being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are absolutely
certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.
• The Partition Creation utility allows you to create a new D: partition or resize existing
partitions on your hard disk. NOTE: Creating or resizing partitions with this utility will cause
all data on the hard disk to be completely erased.
• The Diagnostics utility allows the IT professional to determine device status/condition by
executing diagnostics tests on selected system components.
Methods for accessing the utilities
Certain LifeBooks have the Recovery and Utility applets pre-installed on a hidden drive. Other systems
require that the Recovery and Utility disc be used (or in the event the hard disk has been reformatted).
