Fixing the Operating System
Use the following procedure to restore the operating system
to a state for retrieving and backing up data without
repartitioning or reformatting the hard drive. Once all data is
backed up, perform another NEC OS Restore using the

The Auto and Custom OS Restore programs
delete all the data on your hard drive. If possible,
back up your data before performing an OS
restore with these options.
