Recovering specific files and software
You can perform a partial recovery by recovering specific files, such as device
drivers and most pre-installed software. If you need to recover software that did
not come pre-installed on your system, you need to follow the software’s own
instructions for installation.
You can recover specific files using either the Start menu or a driver and
application recovery disc that you have created.

To restore your system from the driver and application recovery discs:

1Click Start, All Programs, System Recovery, then click Application &
Driver Recovery.
- OR -
Turn on your computer, then insert the driver and application recovery
disc#1 (if available) into the CD or DVD drive. The Application Recovery
program opens.
2Click the driver or application you want to install. To select multiple items,
press and hold CTRL while clicking each item.
3Click Next. The items you selected are installed. When the installation is
finished, a message asks you if you want to install more drivers or
applications.
4Click Yes to install more drivers or applications, or click Quit to exit.
5Store the discs in a safe place for future use. You are done.
6If your system still has problems, follow the directions in “Recovering your
system using Microsoft System Restore” on page 126.
