Setup and Operation 2-61
To reinstall any of the applications or device drivers that came with your computer, follow
the procedures in “Restoring Applications” or “Installing Optional Software.”
Restore the application software that did not come with your computer using the vendor
diskette(s) or CD-ROM(s) included in its original packaging.
Restoring the Operating System
To perform an OS Restore only (the “Fix OS” procedure) for systems running the Windows
95 operating system, boot the system from the Select Install CD. When the system boots
from the CD, it automatically loads the MS-DOS-based Operating System Restore
program.
CAUTION:
If possible, back up your data
before performing an OS restore.
Follow these steps to restore only the operating system without repartitioning or
reformatting the hard disk:
1.
Power on or restart the system and immediately insert the Select Install disc into
the CD-ROM reader.
NOTE:
For systems with a SCSI hard disk, a
bootable diskette is included with the NEC Select
Install CD. In SCSI systems, first boot the
system from the bootable diskette. After the
system boots, proceed with the NEC Select
Install procedure described below.
After the system boots from the CD, the Operating System Restore Welcome
screen appears (see the following figure).
