7-10 Solving Problems
System Recovery
If your preinstalled software becomes unusable and you cannot reboot from
the hard disk, you can restore your system to its initial shipping configura-
tion.
System Recovery erases and resets the hard disk completely before reinstall-
ing the files.
!
CAUTION: If you are doing a Full System Recovery,
ALL files on the hard drive will be deleted and replaced by the fac-
tory installed files.
A Full System Recovery should only be used if the preinstalled
software is unusable. If you are unsure about using this procedure,
call the NEC Technical Support Center (TSC). TSC representatives
will help you determine if this is your situation. See “Getting Help” at
the end of this chapter for the technical support telephone number.
