Using the Operating System Media

Before you Begin
If you are considering reinstalling the Windows operating system to correct a
problem with a newly installed driver, first try using Windows Device Driver
Rollback. See "Returning to a Previous Device Driver Version" on page 58. If
Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, use Microsoft Windows
System Restore to return your operating system to the operating state it was
in before you installed the new device driver. See "Using Microsoft®
Windows® System Restore" on page 60.
