T
Custom , which reformats the hard drive with the option to
repartition before restoring Windows NT and factory-
shipped drivers (see "Custom Rebuild and Restore").
The operating system and factory-shipped drivers are always
restored regardless of which program you choose.
After performing an OS restore, run the Selective Application
Restore program to reinstall any application that came with
your system. See "NEC Select Install CD" for directions on
running this program.

Auto Rebuild and Restore

To perform an auto OS Restore that also repartitions and
reformats your hard drive, boot the system from the OS
Restore CD. When the system boots from the CD, it
automatically loads the MS-DOS
Restore program.
The OS Restore program deletes all the data on
your hard drive. If possible, back up your data
before performing an OS restore.
