Returning your system to its factory condition
If your computer experiences problems that are not recoverable by other
methods, you may need to reinstall everything to return your system to its
factory condition. You can reinstall using either your hard drive or the recovery
discs you have created.
Warning: This complete recovery deletes everything on your hard
drive, then reinstalls Windows and all software and drivers that
were pre-installed on your system. If you can access important
files on your hard drive, back them up now.
If you can still run Windows, see "Recovering from within Windows" on page
19.
If you cannot run Windows and your original hard drive is still working, see
"Recovering from the hard drive during startup" on page 20.
If you cannot run Windows and your original hard drive has been completely re-
formatted or you have installed a replacement hard drive, see "Recovering from
your recovery discs" on page 20.

that the operating system will be recovered to.
Warning: Continuing the process will erase all files on your hard
drive.
