2Turn off your computer.

3Wait 30 seconds and turn on your computer.

4Type the letter “O” to signify you have read and accepted the Microsoft End- User License Agreement.

5When the System Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery process.

Your system may include one or more System Recovery CDs. If you have more than one System Recovery CD, insert the first CD to run the System Recovery program. You are prompted to insert the next CD(s) once the information from the first CD has been installed.

The recovery process takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete.

After recovering your system using the System Recovery CD(s), you may be prompted to insert your Application Recovery CD(s) after restarting Windows. Use the Application Recovery CD(s) to complete full restoration of your system.
