Restoring your system software might be necessary for the
following reasons:
• Hard drive failure.
• Virus in the system or unstable system.
• Intentional disk clean - for example if you are passing the
system to another team or returning it to a rental
company and you do not want any data left on it.
You will need to have a PS2 keyboard and PS2 mouse
connected. Follow the instructions provided with the
recovery CD to restore your system software.
Running the recovery disks will reformat your hard drive. All data
files and programs will be overwritten. Save your data to CD or to
another machine before performing this procedure.
