Restoring The Operating System For Windows Xp Systems; Automatically Downloading Driver Updates - Fujitsu FPCM21621 User Manual

Restoring the Operating System for Windows XP Systems

The Recovery and Utility disc contains three utilities:
• The Recovery utility allows you to restore the system operating system (OS). The restored OS is
the same one that was originally installed on the hard disk drive. After the OS is restored, you will
need to reinstall the drivers and applications from the Drivers and Applications Restore disc and
from any application discs that were bundled with the system when you purchased it.
• The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk and
prevent it from being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are absolutely
certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.
• The Partition Creation utility allows you to create or resize partitions on your hard disk. NOTE:
Creating or resizing partitions with this utility will cause all data on the hard disk to be
completely erased.
