Repairing or Reinstalling the

Operating System

The Operating System Recovery CD included with your notebook can be used to repair or to reinstall the operating system. Both operations might take a few hours to complete.

Repairing the operating system preserves your data and settings.

Reinstalling the operating system deletes all files on the notebook. After the operating system has been reinstalled, all drivers required for notebook functionality must be reinstalled. To fully restore your system, you will also need to reinstall all other software that is not a part of the operating system.
