Restoring the Factory Image

RESTORING YOUR

PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWARE

The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) disc contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your computer configuration for use as documented below.

In order to install applications and/or drivers from the DAR disc, you will need to use an optical drive either in your system or attached externally.

If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu website at: http://www.us.fujitsu.com/computers to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates.

Reinstalling Individual Drivers and Applications

The DAR disc can be used to selectively reinstall drivers and/or applications that may have been uninstalled or corrupted.

There may be certain free third-party applications pre-installed on your system that are not on the DAR disc. The latest versions of the applications can be downloaded from the third-party’s website.

To reinstall drivers and/or applications:

1.Boot up the system and insert the DAR disc after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is displayed after the disc is inserted.

2.After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree].

3.A window will appear containing a list of applica- tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from the DAR disc.

The components listed are color-coded in terms of their install status. Blue indicates that the component can be installed. Green indicates that the component needs to be installed separately. Grey indicates a component that is already installed; grey items can be reinstalled, but prior to installation you will receive a reminder that the component is already installed.

4.In the list, check off all the components you want to install. If you want to install all components, click [Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the blue-coded components; you must select grey and green components separately.

5.Once you have selected the components you wish to install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the components will be installed.

6.After the components are installed, click [OK], then click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the system.

The Restore Disc that came with your system contains two utilities:

■The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original contents of the C: drive.

■The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.

•The use of this disc requires that you have a device capable of reading DVDs attached to your system. If you do not have a built-in DVD player, you will need to attach an external player. For more information on available external devices, visit our Web shopping site at: www.shopfujitsu.com

•This disc can only be used with the system with which it was purchased.

BOOT Priority Change

Before restoring an image, you must first verify that your system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To verify/ change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive), perform one of the following procedures:

Changing priority from BOOT Menu:

1.Start your system and press the [F12] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will open the Boot Menu window.

2.Using the arrow keys, select the device from which you want to boot.

3.Press [Enter]. Note that this is a one-time boot priority. To change the boot priority for a longer period, perform the steps above in “Changing priority from BIOS Setup utility”.

Changing priority from BIOS Setup utility:

1.Start your system and press the [F2] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

Or..., press the [Enter] key or the left mouse button when the Fujitsu logo appears. The TrustedCore Menu will appear. Select BIOS Setup from the Trust- edCore Menu.
