NEC OS Restore CD
The following procedures describe how to use the NEC OS Restore CD that
ships with your system.
Please read the following sections in their entirety before using the NEC OS
Restore CD to restore the Windows operating system or the factory-installed
drivers on your system.
Introducing OS Restore Options
Your system comes with an NEC OS Restore compact disc (CD). This CD
contains the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT operating system and
device drivers for the hardware that was factory-installed in your system. Should
a problem occur that causes data loss or corruption, you can restore your system
to its working state using this CD.
After restoring the operating system, use the NEC Application and Driver CD to
install your applications, optional drivers, and online documents.
Note:
The computer also comes with the NEC
Application and Driver CD. This CD contains applications
and online documents, as well as a full suite of optional
drivers that are compatible with hardware options offered by
NEC CSD. See “NEC Application and Driver CD” for
information about installing or restoring applications, optional
drivers, and online documents.
