USING THE PRODUCT RECOVERY CD

If you determine that you need to restore your system to its
initial installation state, follow the instructions given here.
Only use the Product Recovery CD as a last resort.
Check the problem checklist at the beginning of this
chapter for information about solving problems be-
fore using the CD. The recovery CD provides two
options that either remove or replace existing sys-
tem files. This will result in data loss.
You can use the Product Recovery CD to do the following:
T
Full Restore — Formats your hard drive and then per-
forms a full restore procedure. This option removes all
data and applications from your system.
T
Selective Installation — Allows you to selectively rein-
stall drivers, applications, and utilities without refor-
matting your hard disk.

Full Restore

If your preinstalled software becomes unusable and you
cannot boot from the hard disk, use the Product Recovery
CD to restore your system to its initial shipping
configuration.
