Partition Only Restore
If your preinstalled software on drive C: on your multiple partitioned drive becomes
unusable and you cannot boot from the hard disk, use the Product Recovery utility to
restore your primary partition to its initial shipping configuration.
Use the Partition Only restore option only if your hard disk
drive consists of multiple partitions and if drive C: contains the operating system and
related drivers. Move all other data and applications to other partitions (drives) or the
Partition Only restore process will erase them completely.
The Partition Only restore option deletes all files on drive C: and replaces them with the
original factory installed files. Only use the Partition Only restore option if the
preinstalled software on drive C: is unusable.
For important information about partitioning your hard disk drive, see the section,
“Partition Magic,” earlier in this chapter.
