Reinstalling Software
Before Reinstallation
Preparing
You will need the followings:
•Product Recovery
•If it was necessary to create BACKUP DISKS (
page 13), you will need the BACKUP DISKS (e.g., FIRSTAID FD) and the floppy disk drive.
•The optional CD drive (Confirm the latest information on optional products in catalogs, etc.)
Mount the CD drive in the multimedia pocket. (Refer to the Operating Instructions of the CD drive for details.)
The operation of reinstallation takes about 20 - 30 minutes.
Important
Save all important data. If reinstallation is carried out, all data existing prior to the installation will be lost. The reinstal- lation will return the computer to close to the conditions at time of purchase.
Before the reinstallation procedure, remove all peripherals (except for the CD drive and the floppy disk drive). 
Be sure the AC adaptor is connected until the reinstallation procedure is completed.
