Rebuilding the Hard Disk and Restoring the Operating System

The OS Restore allows you to repartition and/or reformat your hard disk and then reinstall
Windows 95 or Windows NT from the CD. You can rebuild the disk and reinstall your
operating system in one of two ways:
T
Auto, to perform a standard rebuild and restore
T
Custom, to rebuild and restore with greater control over restore functions.
The following sections explain how to use the NEC Select Install CD to rebuild and restore
the system. See "Auto Rebuild and Restore" to repartition and reformat your hard disk with
the OS restore. See "Custom Rebuild and Restore" for more options when you repartition
and/or reformat your hard disk with the OS restore.
After performing an OS restore that also repartitions and/or reformats your hard disk, run a
Selective Application Restore to reinstall any application that came with your system. See
"Restoring Applications" for directions on running this program.

Auto Rebuild and Restore

To perform an auto OS Restore that also repartitions and reformats your hard disk, boot the
system from the Select Install CD. When the system boots from the CD, it automatically
loads the MS-DOS -based Operating System Restore program.
Follow these steps to rebuild your hard disk and restore your original, factory-installed
operating system using OS Restore:
Power on or restart the system and immediately insert the Select Install disc into
1.
the CD-ROM reader.
NOTE: The Auto and Custom programs
repartition and/or reformat your hard disk drive
before reinstalling the operating system.
To only reinstall the operating system in a
Windows 95 system while leaving applications
and data files intact, see "Restore the Operating
System."
CAUTION: If possible, back up your data
before performing an OS restore.
