The OS Restore and Selective Application Restore programs use easy-to-
understand dialog boxes and screen messages so you can smoothly
proceed through the restore process.
Note
The computer also comes with the NEC Driver CD, which
contains the drivers delivered on the system and full suite of optional
drivers that are compatible with hardware options offered by NECC. See
"NEC Driver CD" for information about installing or restoring drivers.
Choosing a Program
It's important to use the NEC Select Install CD in a way that is
appropriate to your needs. In some uses, the program on the CD can
delete all the data from your hard drive, as well as your operating system
and/or applications. Read the list below to verify that the use you choose
fits the conditions under which you are installing or restoring software.

system ("Auto" or "Custom").
If you have a catastrophic system failure, use the OS restore to
repartition and reformat the hard drive and restore the operating
system. Using the program is the first phase of a full system restore.
After restoring the OS, continue with a Selective Application Restore.
See the section called "Rebuilding the Hard Drive and Restoring the
Operating System," and under it, either "Auto Rebuild and Restore" or
"Custom Rebuild and Restore."

Restore the operating system so files can be backed up ("Fix OS").
If you need to retrieve data before restoring the operating system, use
the Fix OS procedure. This allows you to restore your system to the
point where you can back up your data files. This option is intended as
a precursor to a full format and restore. See the next section,
"Restoring the Operating System," to perform the Fix OS procedure.
You will need to perform a selective application restore after you
reinstall the operating system.
See the section called "Restoring the Operating System."
