Restoring Your Operating System
You can restore your operating system in the following ways:
• Microsoft Windows XP System Restore and Microsoft Windows Vista™ System Restore return your
computer to an earlier operating state without affecting data files. Use System Restore as the first
solution for restoring your operating system and preserving data files.
• If you received an
Operating System
CD with your computer, you can use it to restore your operating
system. However, using the
Operating System
CD also deletes all data on the hard drive. Use the CD
only
if System Restore did not resolve your operating system problem.
