Restoring the preloaded system

If the data on a hard-disk drive is damaged or accidentally

erased, you can restore the software that was shipped with

the computer. This software includes the pre-installed

operating system, applications, and device drivers.

To restore the pre-installed software, you can use either

the Product Recovery program or a recovery CD.

Ordering the recovery CD

When the hard-disk drive is replaced because of a

failure, no Product Recovery program is on the new

hard disk. In this case, you must use the Product

Recovery CD for the computer. Order the recovery

CD and the hard-disk drive at the same time so that

you can recover the new hard-disk drive with the

pre-installed software when they arrive. For

information on which CD to order, see “Recovery

CDs” on page 154

The Product Recovery program is in the service partition, a

section of the hard-disk drive that is not displayed by

Windows Explorer.

Attention: All of the files on the primary hard-disk

partition (usually drive C) will be lost in the recovery

process. Be sure to back up copies of the files you have

saved on your drive C before you begin.

Product Recovery program

Note: The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.

To use the Product Recovery program to restore the

pre-installed software, do the following:

1. Save all files and shut down the desktop.

2. Turn off the computer.
