Recovering your system

English

Using the Recovery DVD

The Recovery DVD includes an image of the operating system,

installed on your system at the factory. The Recovery DVD, working

with the Support DVD, provides a comprehensive recovery

solution that quickly restores your system to its original working

state, provided that your hard disk drive is in good working order.

Before using the Recovery DVD, copy your data files (such as

Outlook PST files) to floppy disks or to a network drive and make

note of any customized configuration settings (such as network

settings).

1. Insert the Recovery DVD into the optical drive (System needs

to be powered ON).

2. Restart the system and press

<DEL> on bootup to enter the

BIOS setup. Go to Boot > Boot Device Priority and select

the optical drive (may be labeled as “CDROM:XXXX”) as the

1st Boot Device.

3. Press

<F10> to save the configuration and reboot from the

Recovery DVD.

4.

Select a partition option and click Next. Partition options:

Recover system to a partition only.

This option will delete only the partition you select from

below, allowing you to keep other partitions, and create a

new system partition as drive “C”.

Recover system to entire HD.

This option will delete all partitions from your hard disk drive

and create a new system partition as drive “C”.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery

process.
