Restoring Your Operating System
You can restore your operating system in the following ways:
• Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP System Restore returns your computer to an earlier operating state without
affecting data files. Use System Restore as the first solution for restoring your operating system and
preserving data files. For instructions, see "Using Microsoft Windows XP System Restore" on page 113.
• If you received an Operating System CD with your computer, you can use it to restore your operating
system. However, using the Operating System CD also deletes all data on the hard drive. Use the CD
only if System Restore did not resolve your operating system problem. For instructions, see "Using the
Operating System CD" on page 114.
Using Microsoft Windows XP System Restore
The Microsoft Windows XP operating system provides System Restore to allow you to return your
computer to an earlier operating state (without affecting data files) if changes to the hardware, software,
or other system settings have left the computer in an undesirable operating state. See the Windows Help
and Support Center for additional information on using System Restore. To access help, see "Windows
Help and Support Center" on page 13.
NOTICE:
Make regular backups of your data files. System Restore does not monitor your data files or recover
them.
NOTE:
The procedures in this document were written for the Windows default view, so they may not apply if you
set your Dell™ computer to the Windows Classic view.

Restore.
