- Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
Utility tab:
The Utility tab contains three tools: System Restore, Hard Disk Data Delete and Partition
Creation.
•
System Restore
can help fix problems that might be making your computer run slowly or stop
responding. System Restore enables you in rolling back the system to an earlier restore point, and
does not affect any of your documents, pictures, or other personal data.
•
The
Hard Disk Data Delete
utility is used to delete all data on the hard disk and prevent the data
from being reused.
NOTE: Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are
absolutely certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions
.
•
The
Partition Creation
utility allows you to create a D: partition or resize existing partitions on
your hard disk.
NOTE: Creating or resizing partitions with this utility will cause all data on
the hard disk to be completely erased.
Automatically Downloading Driver Updates
Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can
choose to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to check for new updates for your system.
The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the
icons to find the correct one). If the icon does not appear in the system tray, go to [Start] -> All Programs,
and click on Fujitsu Driver Update; this will create the icon automatically.
To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a
couple of seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the following items:
Check for updates now
Allows for manual driver update search. The first time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user
agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU automatically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for
updates and downloads them. While downloading, the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it
cannot be used while the download is in process. When the update is complete, a message appears
informing you of the fact.
