Recovery CD-ROM, replace it in its sleeve
and store it.

P O I N T
As long is there is no boot disk in the
CD-ROM drive or the floppy disk drive
your notebook will boot from the hard
drive, regardless of the operating system
source setting.
Your notebook now has all of the software
installed that was installed when you r eceived it
from the factory. You must now set up the file
for your Save-to-Disk function (see Setting Up
Your Save-To-Disk File Allocation starting on
page 112), load any programs which you pur-
chased and installed after you got your note-
book,and restore your data files. If you did not
choose the format and recover option your data
files will still exist. You are now ready to operate.
C A U T I O N
Remember that you must set the Boot
menu in the BIOS setup utility to CD-
ROM Drive, or use the
Esc
key during
the boot-up sequence to change the
setting so the BIOS loads the operating
system from the CD-ROM, not the hard
drive.
(See page 105 for ways to set the
operating system source.)
C A U T I O N
User data and user installed applications
CAN NOT be recovered from the
Recovery CD-ROM.
