Using the Restore CD you can restore the software to its original delivery state.
The CD contains the necessary images and tools for transferring the the delivery

hard disk with drive C: (system) and drive D: or just the restoration drive C:. User
files on drive D: will be retained.

(System). All data, user settings and available authorizations on drive C: will be
lost in the process! Drive C: will be deleted completely on the hard disk,
reformatted and overwritten with the original version of the software.
