ƒ
Any software that you installed after purchasing the PC will be erased
and will need to be reinstalled.
ƒ
Everything on the C:\Local Disk partition will be erased. This
includes all of your documents and settings.
ƒ
Tampering with the Recovery (D:) hard disk drive or its contents will
make it more difficult to restore your PC.
Do not alter, resize, or
delete the Recovery (D:) hard disk drive. Also, do not alter or
delete the files on the Recovery (D:) hard disk drive.
Performing the Restore
Each step of the restore replaces an increasing number of files on your hard
drive, and therefore takes longer to finish. We recommend that you attempt
each of the restore options in order, starting with “Recovery of start-up files.”
After finishing each restore option, you should test your system to see if the
problem is solved. If the problem persists, then try the next restore option.
To make selections in the restore program, use the up and down arrow keys
to highlight the option you would like to select, then press
enter to make the
selection.
n
Prepare your PC: If possible, copy your data files to external media
(such as a floppy disk, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RW, or flash card) BEFORE
you continue!
Also, remove all peripherals (such as printers or USB
devices) except your keyboard, mouse, and monitor before starting
the restore.
o
Insert the Application & Support disc and restart (reboot) the PC.
Make sure you use a drive that can read a DVD, such as a DVD-
ROM or DVD-RW drive!
p
Caution: Do not use the Medion Product Recovery CD-ROM (a Windows
XP CD for restoring Windows XP itself) for restoration purposes. This
disc does not restore the original factory setup of the PC.
q
Select the option Boot from CD-ROM from the first screen.
r
Use the arrow keys to read through the license agreement, then press
the
Esc key to proceed.
s
Read the information screen that appears, then press Enter to
proceed.
