Software Updates and Restorations

Restoring Software

The QuickRestore kit included with the notebook provides all the
software that shipped preinstalled or preloaded on your notebook
and instructions for restoring it.
You can use QuickRestore to install or reinstall individual
software items, such as applications, or to restore the entire
notebook factory image. The factory image is the original
software on your notebook when it was shipped.
When you restore to the factory image:
■
The notebook reverts to the original factory settings.
■
Software you installed after the initial software setup,
including drivers, applications, or utilities, will be erased.
For information about using a QuickRestore CD to start up the
notebook, refer to the documentation included with the
QuickRestore kit.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent an unsuccessful restoration, use QuickRestore
only while the notebook is connected to reliable external power using the
AC Adapter. Do not use QuickRestore while the notebook is running on
battery power, docked in an optional Port Replicator or Mobile Expansion
Unit, or connected to an optional power source. During a restoration or
installation:
■
Do not unplug the notebook from the electrical outlet.
■
Do not shut down the notebook.
■
Do not remove or insert a drive.
