Recovering specific files and software
You can perform a partial recovery by recovering specific files, such as device
drivers and most pre-installed software. If you need to recover software that did
not come pre-installed on your system, you need to follow the software’s own
instructions for installation.
You can recover specific files using either the Start menu or a drivers and
applications recovery disc that you have created.
To recover specific drivers and software:
