Partition Only Restore
If your preinstalled software on drive C: of your multiple partitioned drive becomes
unusable and you cannot boot from the hard disk, use the Product Recovery utility to
restore your primary partition to its initial shipping configuration.
Use the Partition Only restore option only if your hard disk
drive consists of multiple partitions and if drive C: contains the operating system and
related drivers. Move all other data and applications to other partitions (drives) or the
Partition Only restore process will erase them completely.
The Partition Only restore option deletes all files on drive C: and replaces them with the
original factory installed files. Only use the Partition Only restore option if the
preinstalled software on drive C: is unusable.
For important information about partitioning your hard disk drive, see the section,
“Partition Magic,” earlier in this chapter.
Use the Product Recovery utility to perform a Partition Only restore as follows:
1.
Check the Product Recovery CD title and make sure that it is the correct CD for
your NEC Versa computer and operating system.
2. Put the CD into the CD-ROM drive tray, close the drive door, and reboot your
computer.
3.
Read the License Agreement screen that appears. Use the VersaGlide touchpad to
position the cursor on the Accept button. Left click to accept the agreement.
You have the option of accepting or declining the agreement. If you decline the
agreement, the recovery utility exits.
