Restoring Your Operating System
Operating System Reinstallation
Before You Begin
If you are considering reinstalling the Windows
operating system to correct a problem with a
newly installed driver, first try using Windows
Device Driver Rollback. If Device Driver
Rollback does not resolve the problem, then use
System Restore to return your operating system
to the operating state it was in before you
installed the new device driver. See “System
Restore” on page 40.
CAUTION:
Before performing the
installation, back up all data files on your
primary hard drive. For conventional hard
drive configurations, the primary hard
drive is the first drive detected by the
computer.
To reinstall Windows, you need the following
items:
Dell
•
Operating System
disc
Dell
•
Drivers and Utilities
disc
NOTE:
The Dell
Drivers and Utilities
disc
contains drivers that were installed during
the assembly of the computer. Use the
Dell
Drivers and Utilities
disc to load any
required drivers. Depending on the region
from which you ordered your computer,
or whether you requested the disc, the
Dell
Drivers and Utilities
disc and
Operating
System
disc may not ship with your
computer.
