Restoring Your Pre-installed Software

The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) disc contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your notebook configuration for use as documented below.

If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu Support website at http:// www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates. (See

Automatically Downloading Driver

Updates on page 83 for more information)

In order to install applications and/or drivers from the DAR disc, you will need to use an optical drive either in your system or attached externally.

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications

The DAR disc can be used to selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted.

There may be certain free third-party applications pre-installed on your system that are not on the DAR CD. The latest versions of the applications can be downloaded from the third-party’s website.

To re-install drivers and/or applications:

1.Boot up the system and insert the DAR disc after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is displayed after the disc is inserted.

2.After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree].

3.A window will appear containing a list of applica- tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from the DAR disc.

The components listed are color-coded in terms of their install status. Blue indicates that the component can be installed. Green indicates that the component needs to be installed separately. Grey indicates a component that is already installed; grey items can be reinstalled, but prior to installation you will receive a reminder that the component is already installed.

T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g

4.In the list, check off all the components you want to install. If you want to install all components, click [Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the blue-coded components; you must select grey and green components separately.

5.Once you have selected the components you wish to install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the components will be installed.

6.After the components are installed, click [OK], then click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the system.

RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE

The Restore Disc that came with your system contains two utilities:

■The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original contents of the C: drive.

■The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.

•The use of this disc requires that you have a device capable of reading DVDs attached to your system. If you do not have a built-in DVD player, you will need to attach an external player. For more information on available external devices, visit our website at: us.fujitsu.com/ computers.

•This disc can only be used with the system with which it was purchased.

BOOT Priority Change

Before restoring an image, you must first verify that your system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To verify/ change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive), perform the following steps:

1.Start your system and press the [F2] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

2.Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.

3.Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu. Press [Enter].

4.If “Optical Media Drive” or “CD-ROM Drive” is not at the top of the list, arrow down to the drive in the list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move it to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot from the devices in the order in which they are listed.). Note that the BIOS for some systems will indicate “CD-ROM Drive”, even when a DVD drive is connected.
