Restoring Software

The Restore CDs included with the notebook contain all the software that shipped preinstalled or preloaded on the notebook and instructions for restoring it.

You can use the Restore CDs to install or reinstall individual software items, such as applications, or to restore the notebook factory image.

The notebook factory image is the notebook software as it was when the notebook was shipped. When you restore to the factory image:

■All settings are as they were set at the factory when the notebook was shipped.

■All software is the version installed at the factory.

■All software not included in the factory-supplied image, including drivers, applications, and utilities that you personally installed, will have to be reinstalled.

If the notebook has become unresponsive, you may be able to start the notebook from a bootable Restore CD. For information about starting the notebook from a bootable Restore CD, see the documentation included with the Restore CDs.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent an unsuccessful restoration, use a Restore CD only while the notebook is connected to reliable external power using the AC Adapter. (Do not use a Restore CD while the notebook is running on battery power or connected to an optional power source.) During a restoration or installation:

■Do not unplug the notebook from the electrical outlet.

■Do not shut down the notebook.

■Do not remove or insert a drive.
