Using Dell PC Restore by Symantec
NOTICE: Using Dell PC Restore permanently deletes all data on the hard drive and
removes any application programs or drivers installed after you received your
computer. If possible, back up the data before using PC Restore. Use PC Restore
only if System Restore (see "Using Microsoft
Windows XP System Restore" on
page 104) did not resolve your operating system problem.
NOTE: Dell PC Restore by Symantec may not be available in certain countries nor
on certain computers.
Use Dell PC Restore by Symantec only as the last method to restore your
operating system. PC Restore restores your hard drive to the operating state it
was in when you purchased the computer. Any programs or files added since
you received your computer—including data files—are permanently deleted
from the hard drive. Data files include documents, spreadsheets, e-mail
messages, digital photos, music files, and so on. If possible, back up all data
before using PC Restore.
