Using the Operating System Media

Before you Begin

If you are considering reinstalling the Windows operating system to correct a problem with a newly installed driver, first try using Windows Device Driver Rollback. See "Returning to a Previous Device Driver Version" on page 58. If Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, use Microsoft Windows System Restore to return your operating system to the operating state it was in before you installed the new device driver. See "Using Microsoft® Windows® System Restore" on page 60.
