Recovering Lost or Damaged Software
Using the Recovery CD
You can restore the contents of your hard disk to what it was at the
time of purchase.
Attention
This recovery program deletes all personal data and your
customized configuration settings. It resets your computer to
most of the factory-shipped default values. Be sure to back up
your personal files before you use this CD.
The Recovery CD package consists of a startable diskette and a
CD-ROM containing the original preinstalled image.
The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.
If you have a CD-ROM drive installed in your computer's
UltraslimBay and you don't have an external diskette drive
attached, go to “Case 1.”
If you have a CD-ROM drive installed in your computer's
UltraslimBay and you do have an external diskette drive
attached, go to “Case 2” on page 152.
If you have a diskette drive installed in your computer's
UltraslimBay, replace it with the CD-ROM drive (see “Replacing
the UltraslimBay Device” on page 57). Then go to “Case 1.”
