Chapter 12 - Restoring your Computer
Notebook computers that ship from the factory include one Microsoft Windows 98,
Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM and System utility CD-ROM, which
contains a copy of the applications and drivers needed for a computer’s Operating
System.
In the unlikely event that programs on the computer hard drive become corrupted
or are erased, you can use the Microsoft Operating System CD-ROM to reinstall
your Operating System and then the System utility CD-ROM to reinstall your
original applications and drivers.
