Restoring Your Pre-Installed Software; Saving Your Factory Image - Fujitsu FPCR46023 User Manual

Restoring Your Pre-installed Software

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image before beginning to use your
system. To do so, follow the instructions below in the "Saving Your Factory Image" section.
Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other
important procedures, such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system
images, managing your images, and restoring the partitions on a hard drive.

Saving your Factory Image

When you purchased your system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden
partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that
in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.
