Recovering your system using the
Windows DVD
If you install a new hard drive or completely re-format your
original hard drive, you must recover your system using the
Windows Vista operating system DVD. You also need to recover
your computer’s pre-installed software and device drivers.
To completely re-install Windows:
1
If you can still run Windows, back up your personal files,
and create a set of software and driver recovery discs (if
you have not already done so). For instructions, see
“To
create discs for recovering pre-installed software
and drivers:” on page 124
.
2
Insert the Windows DVD into one of your computer’s
DVD-capable drives, then turn on or restart your
computer.
Important
Before your hard drive is recovered, your personal files will be
automatically backed up to c:\backup.
Caution
Continuing with the full factory recovery will delete everything on
your hard drive. Make sure that you have backed up any important files
you want to save.
