PC RECOVERY (REPEATED PC SETUP)

Setting Up Your PC Again

1. What is the Recovery?

When you return your PC to the original state during shipment, it is called “PC recovery.”
You can recover your PC in one of the following two ways.
(1) Initialize the hard disk and restore all files.
(2) Restore the first partition of the hard disk only.
Caution
Do not reduce the capacity of drive C below 11G bytes.
For details, see “Select the recovery method (disk partitioning)” on Page 83.

2. Before Starting Repeated Setup

The following explains the preparation required befor system recovery.
•You may not solve the problem even if you have recovered your PC. If the problem
continues, consult our PC Technical Support Centre.
•You can use System Recovery on your PC only. You cannot use this software for the PC of
another manufacturer.
Cautions
1)File backup
If you have recovered your PC, it will have been returned to the status before shipment.
All files you have created, applications you have added, and various parameters you
have set will have been cleared and lost.
Before starting system recovery, back up any important files you have created on CD-R
disk or hard disk drive D of your PC.
If you have backed up the important information in drive D, you must select the option
in Step 2 “Select the recovery method (disk partitioning)” on Page 83 and you must
recover drive C only.
2)When starting System Recovery
Detach all peripherals from your PC. If not, the recovery may stop or the required operations
may differ from those written in the manual.

3. Repeated Setup

Execute the Recovery program to restore the information on the hard disk. The Recovery
program returns both your PC and all applications back to the original state before shipment.
If you wish to set up the application software separately, upload them from the Application
CD-ROM one at a time. (See “To Set Up the Standard Applications Again” on Page 34.)
