Reinstalling Software

When you reinstall the software, the hard disk data will be erased. Back up important data to other media or an exter- nal hard disk before reinstallation.

Reinstalling software will return the computer to the default condition. The hard disk backup area and the backup data (Î page 16) will be erased. (If you reinstall Windows in the first partition, the backup area and data will not be erased.) Even if the data is stored in partitions on the hard disk, it may be erased or corrupted.
