To Use the Driver Recovery CD

The Driver Recovery CD utility enables you to reinstall individual drivers and repair software applications if they become corrupted or are erased. You can reinstall an individual driver to correct a problem that you are experiencing with your computer, peripheral hardware, or software application.

✍If you need to reinstall all of the software applications that shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD(s).

You must be in Windows to run the Driver Recovery CD utility.
