Restoring the preloaded system
If the data on a hard disk drive is damaged or accidentally
erased, you can restore the software that was shipped with
the computer. This software includes the pre-installed
operating system, applications, and device drivers.
To restore the pre-installed software, you can use either
the Product Recovery program or a recovery CD.
Ordering the recovery CD
When the hard disk drive is replaced because of a
failure, no Product Recovery program is on the new
hard disk. In this case, you must use the Product
Recovery CD for the computer. Order the recovery
CD and the hard disk drive at the same time so that
you can recover the new hard disk drive with the
pre-installed software when they arrive. For
information on which CD to order, and the latest
procedure on how to do so, see “Recovery CDs” on
page 150.
The Product Recovery program is in the Predesktop Area,
a section of the hard disk drive that is not displayed by
Windows Explorer.
Note: The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.
Attention: All of the files on the primary hard disk
partition (usually drive C) will be lost in the recovery
process. Be sure to back up copies of the files you have
saved on your drive C before you begin.
To use the Product Recovery program to install your
pre-installed software, do the following:
1. If possible, save all your files to media other than your
hard disk.
2. Turn off your computer.
