Restoring Your Operating System
You can restore your operating system in the following ways:
• Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP and Windows Vista System Restore returns 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.
