Recovering the operating system and support software
Use the following steps to recover the factory-installed operating system
and software:
1. Make backup copies of configuration files and any files you created.
Any files not backed up will be lost.
2. Insert the IBM Product Recovery CD into your CD-ROM drive.
3. Restart your computer and follow the instructions on the screen. If
your computer does not start from the CD, you need to change your
startup sequence. (See “Changing the startup sequence to start from
the CD.”)
4. When the recovery is complete, remove the IBM Product Recovery CD
and restart your computer.
5. If you changed your startup sequence, make sure you change it back
immediately.
Changing the startup sequence to start from the CD
If your computer does not start from the CD on the first try, you need to
change your startup sequence in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Follow these steps to change the startup sequence:
1. Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on when you start
this procedure, you must shut down the operating system, turn off the
computer, wait a few seconds until all in-use lights go off, and restart
the computer. (Do not use Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the computer.)
2. When the Configuration/Setup utility prompt appears in the lower-left
corner of the screen during startup, press F1. (This prompt appears on
the screen for only a few seconds. You must press F1 quickly.)
3. Select Start Options from the Configuration/Setup Utility program
menu.
