NEC OS Restore CD
The following procedures describe how to use the NEC OS Restore CD that
ships with the system.
Read the following subsections in their entirety before using the NEC OS
Restore CD to restore the Windows operating system or factory-installed drivers
on the system.
Introducing OS Restore Options
The NEC OS Restore CD contains the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows
NT operating system and device drivers for the hardware that was factory-
installed in the system. Use this CD to restore the system to its working state if a
problem occurs that causes data loss or corruption.
After restoring the operating system, use the NEC Application and Driver CD to
install applications, optional drivers, and online documents.
Note
:
Use the NEC Application and Driver CD to install or
restore applications, optional drivers, and online documents (see
“NEC Application and Driver CD” later in this section).
Choosing a Restore Program
The OS Restore program allows you to reinstall the Windows 95, Windows 98,
or Windows NT operating system. Restore can be done in the following ways:
„
Auto, which reformats and repartitions the hard drive before restoring the
Windows OS and factory-shipped drivers (see “Auto Rebuild and
Restore”)
„
Custom , which reformats the hard drive with the option to repartition
before restoring the Windows OS and factory-shipped drivers (see
“Custom Rebuild and Restore”)
„
Fix OS for Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems, which reinstalls the
Windows OS while leaving data files intact. This restores the system to
where you can back up data files. This option is intended as a precursor to
a full format and restore (see “Fixing the Operating System”).
