Setting System Parameters 4-25
System Restore Options
System restore options available to you are as follows:
Restore Individual Files
This option lets you select the files and directories you
want restored from the Product Recovery CD. Use this
option to restore only a few files or to have total control
of which files and directories are restored to their factory
state. This option is also useful for restoring
AUTOEXEC, CONFIG, and INI files.
This procedure is done in Windows 95. The restore
individual files procedure requires booting the system
form the hard disk, entering Windows, and inserting the
CD into the CD-ROM reader.
System Recovery
Use this option as a last resort when your preinstalled
software becomes unusable and you cannot reboot
from the hard disk. This option requires booting from
the Recovery CD.
The System Recovery option provides a full system
recovery. This option lets you restore your system to its
original factory-shipped state. Full System Recovery
reformats hard drive C and erases all information on
the disk. It then restores files on drive C from the System
Recovery CD.
The following sections describe each of these options. If
your preinstalled software becomes unusable, see
“Recovery Options” later in this chapter.
