Using the Application Recovery CD(s)

device driver or software title may correct a problem you are experiencing with
your computer, and you may not need to recover the entire contents of your hard
drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with your
computer, use the System Recovery CD(s). See “Using the System Recovery
CD(s)” on page122.
