NEC OS Restore CD
The following procedures describe how to use the NEC OS Restore CD that
ships with your system.
Please read the following sections in their entirety before using the NEC OS
Restore CD to restore the Windows NT operating system or the factory-installed
drivers on your system.
Introducing OS Restore Options
Your system comes with an NEC OS Restore compact disc (CD). This CD
contains the Windows NT operating system and device drivers for the hardware
that was factory-installed in your system. Should a problem occur that causes
data loss or corruption, you can restore your system to its working state using
this CD.
After restoring the operating system, use the NEC Select Install CD to install
your applications, optional drivers, and online documents.
Note:
Install CD. This CD contains applications and online
documents. The CD also contains a full suite of optional
drivers that are compatible with hardware options offered by
NEC CSD. See "NEC Select Install CD" for information
about installing or restoring applications, optional drivers,
and online documents.
If possible, back up your data before performing an OS
restore.
Choosing a Restore Program
The OS Restore program allows you to repartition and/or reformat your hard
drive and then reinstall the Windows NT operating system from the CD. You
can rebuild the disk and reinstall your operating system in one of two ways.

Windows NT and factory-shipped drivers (see "Auto Rebuild and
