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.
T
Repartition and/or reformat the hard drive and restore the
operating 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."
T
Restore only the operating system ("Fix OS").
If you do not need to rebuild your hard drive, use the
OS Restore to reinstall only the operating system (for
systems running the Windows 95 or Windows 98
operating system). You do not need to perform a selective
application restore after you reinstall the operating system.
See the section called "Restoring the Operating System."
If possible, back up your data before performing
an OS restore.
