Recovering factory installed programs and files
Recovering factory installed programs and files
Your IBM PC came with programs and files installed on
the hard disk drive. These pre-installed programs and
files are also included on the “Product Recovery and
Diagnostics CD-ROM” disc. In some cases, the original
programs and files on the hard disk drive can become
corrupted. If this happens, you will need to reinstall
them on the hard disk drive.
You may also install programs and create your own files.
When you install programs, the installation process can
change certain configuration files that the operating
system uses. You should make regular backup copies of
these configuration files and any files you created.
When you make backup copies of the operating system
configuration files, you should copy the original directory
structure. When you reinstall the files, you must put
them into the original directory structure. If you do not,
the computer may not work properly.
To recover the factory installed system and program
files, follow these steps:
Note:
All personal data in the computer will be lost.
1
Make sure your computer is turned on.
2
Make backup copies of configuration files and any
files you created.
3
Insert the “Product Recovery and Diagnostics
CD-ROM” disc into your CD or DVD drive.
4
Make sure you do not have a diskette, CD, or DVD in
any other drive.
5
Shut down and turn off your computer.
6
Wait 15 seconds.
7
Turn on your monitor and computer.
Note
Some models ship with
the ConfigSafe program,
which runs in the
background. ConfigSafe
automatically takes a
snapshot of your
configuration files.
Before doing a full
recovery, you might
want to start ConfigSafe
and restore system files
to see if an earlier
snapshot might fix your
problem.
