Restoring your Operating System and
Original Applications and Drivers
Notebook computers that ship from the factory include System Recover CD-ROM
and System Software CD-ROM, which contains a copy of the applications and
drivers needed for computer’s operating system.
In the unlikely event that programs on the computer hard drive become corrupted
or are erased, you can use the System Recovery CD-ROM to reinstall your
operating system and then System Software CD-ROM to reinstall your original
applications and drivers.
Under the Boot menu in System Setup, set Diskette Drive as
the first boot device and CD-ROM Drive as the second. (see
“Using System Setup” on page 63 for information on setting
options.)
See the documentation that accompanied your operating
system for detailed information on installation and setup.
