When the hard disk drive is replaced because of a failure, no Product Recovery program is on the new hard disk. In this case, you must use the recovery disc for the computer. Order the recovery disc and the hard disk drive at the same time so that you can recover the new hard disk drive with the preinstalled software when they arrive. For information on which disc to order, see “Recovery discs” on page 90.
