3-36 Configuring the System
The Restore Mode screen appears with four options:
Back, Auto, Custom, and Fix OS.
The
Back
button returns you to the License
Agreement screen.
The
Auto
button selects a restore process designed for
basic users who require limited manual control of
restore functions.
The
Custom
button selects a more advanced restore
process for more control of restore functions.
The
Fix OS
button selects a restore process that
reinstalls the operating system but leaves the
applications and data files intact (for systems running
the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system).
This button does not appear if you are running the
Windows NT operating system.
Click
Custom
or
Auto
to repartition and reformat your
hard drive before reinstalling the operating system.
To only reinstall the operating system while leaving
applications and data files intact, see “Restoring the
Operating System.”

Click
Custom
on the Restore Mode screen if you wish to
customize the OS restore.
After you click Custom, the integrity of your system’s
existing FAT table is verified. If the table is functional, a
Partitioning the Hard Drive screen appears with options
allowing you to retain the present partition structure or
partition the hard drive using FAT16 or FAT32.
If the existing partition table is not functional, the system
automatically follows the Auto restore scheme described
in the previous section, “Auto Rebuild and Restore.”
