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.
Caution:
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
