Partition Only Restore
If the preinstalled software on drive C: on the multiple partitioned drive becomes unusable and
you cannot boot from the hard disk, use the Product Recovery utility to restore the primary
partition to its initial shipping configuration.
Use the Partition Only restore option only if the hard disk drive consists
of multiple partitions and if drive C: contains the operating system and related drivers. Move all
other data and applications to other partitions (drives) or the Partition Only restore process will
erase them completely.
The Partition Only restore option deletes all files on drive C: and replaces them with the original
factory installed files. Only use the Partition Only restore option if the preinstalled software on
drive C: is unusable.
For important information about partitioning the hard disk drive, see the section, “Partition Magic,”
earlier in this chapter.
Use the Product Recovery utility to perform a Partition Only restore as follows:
1.
Check the Product Recovery CD title and make sure that it is the correct CD for the NEC
Versa computer and operating system.
2.
Put the CD into the CD-ROM drive tray, close the drive door, and reboot the computer.
3.
Read the License Agreement screen that appears. Use the VersaGlide touchpad to position
the cursor on the Accept button. Left click to accept the agreement.
You have the option of accepting or declining the agreement. If you decline the agreement,
the recovery utility exits.
4.
In the NEC Product Recovery utility screen, use the VersaGlide touchpad to choose
Partition Only to restore drive C: of a multiple partitioned drive to its original factory
installed state.
Choose the restore option carefully to prevent losing data and
applications installed on your system.
If the hard disk is configured with multiple or extended partitions, you may have to reinstall some
software to restore configuration settings and shared files.
5.
Read the Warning screen.
A warning displays indicating that drive C: (the primary drive/partition) is about to be
erased and formatted. It may be necessary to reinstall software to the other drives
(partitions) to reestablish Start Menu links and other configuration requirements stored on
drive C:.
6.
Select Continue to proceed, to perform a Partition Only restore.
If you select Back, the recovery utility returns to the prior screen which has an exit option.

of the recovery.
