4 Recovering Hard Disk Drive Contents
NOTE
Any software that has been installed on the PC after it has been
purchased, and any personal data that has been generated by
applications installed on the PC, are not covered by the recovery
process.
When using the Full Recovery option, any hardware that has been
installed in the PC after it has been purchased will require that the
necessary drivers be re-installed. In the case where hardware has been
removed you may have to remove the unneccessary drivers.
Refer to your PC User's Guide delivered with the PC for instructions
on how to perform a recovery, upgrade or downgrade.
Recovering Preloaded Drivers
You can use the Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM to reinstall
individual drivers that were delivered with the PC. To do this, insert the
CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. Automatically an HTML file is
displayed. Using your web browser, navigate through the CD-ROM to
find the appropriate driver(s). Then install them by executing the
corresponding installation program directly from the CD-ROM.
Reinstalling Windows NT Service Pack
If you use either the Full Recovery or Minimal Recovery options, the
Service Pack delivered with the PC is automatically reinstalled.

Changing the Hard Disk

If the hard disk is corrupted and you can no longer use it, you should
replace it with a new hard disk drive. Refer to Chapter 2 of your PC
User's Guide for information about installing hard disk drives.
If the replacement hard disk drive is brand new, you will need to
partition and format the drive. This can be done using the Image
Creation and Recovery CD-ROM.
