Standard System Restore
The Standard System Restore recovery option resets your system to the
original factory settings. All files that were on the hard drive when you
purchased the system are restored. All the files you added or created
yourself and all changes made to the original files are lost after the
recovery process. Your hard disk is exactly the same as when it left the
factory.
Before you begin the restoration process, back
up your data files (for example, your document and art files) onto Zip
disks, an USB hard drive, or a network drive.
1.
Start the Recovery program (see “Starting the Recovery Program”
earlier in this document).
2.
At the Recovery program main menu, choose Standard System
Restore.
The first part of the restoration process takes about a half hour. Do
not remove the Recovery Boot diskette from the diskette drive. Do
not shut down the system.
