Restoring Your Pre-installed

Software from CD-ROM

The Emergency Recovery CD-ROM enables restoration of your notebook disk drive con-

tents as they were originally shipped from the factory. Most often this is necessary if files or software programs (only those files/programs that came pre-installed) become corrupt or accidentally erased.

You have two options available when performing recovery:

1.Recover Hard Drive without Format. This choice replaces all the original factory installed files and program structures without eliminating your data files. You will have to re-install any software that was not included with the computer when you bought it (but your data will be intact as long as the installa- tion of the additional programs is performed in the same manner).

2.Format and Recover Hard Drive. This choice removes all the information on the hard disk. If you choose this option, you will lose any software you have installed and any other files you created since you setup your com- puter. You will have to re-install any software that was not included with the computer when you bought it.

P O I N T

It is recommended that you back-up all data files prior to performing either of the recovery options.

P O I N T

Make certain you have your Operating System Product ID # available (from the Certificate of Authenticity) prior to per- forming recovery. Once the process is complete and you re-start your note- book, you will be required to perform all the setup steps as when the computer was first bought. (See the section Starting Your LifeBook for the First Time).

C A U T I O N

User data and user installed software CAN NOT be recovered from the Emergency Recovery CD.
