Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
from CD-ROM

The Emergency Recovery CD-ROM enables restoration
of your LifeBook disk drive contents as they were origi-
nally shipped from the factory. Most often this is neces-
sary if files or software programs (only those files/
programs that came pre-installed) become corrupt or
accidentally erased.

You have two options available when performing
recovery:

1. Recover Hard Drive without Format. This choice

replaces all the original factory installed files and
program structures without eliminating your data
files. You will have to re-install any software that
was not included with the computer when you
bought it, however your data will be intact as long
as the installation of the additional programs is
performed in the same manner.

2. Format and Recover Hard Drive. This choice

removes all the information on the hard disk. If you
choose this option, you will lose any software you
have installed and any other files you created since
you setup your computer. You will have to re-install
any software that was not included with the
computer when you bought it.

To Run the Emergency Recovery Program

To use this portion of the CD-ROM, your LifeBook must
Boot up (upon power up or full system reset/restart)
from the CD-ROM drive.

1. Insert the Emergency Recovery CD in the

CD-ROM drive.

2. If your LifeBook is running when you insert the

CD, exit your operating system and power down
the LifeBook.

3. Start (power up) your LifeBook.

4. At this point, you must either change your

BIOS setup configuration through the [F2] key
to have the computer boot from the CD-ROM
“first” (if you have not previously done so), or
you can use the [ESC] key during this boot-up
sequence and select the CD-ROM from the menu
that will appear.

(See BIOS Setup Utility on page 41

for more information)

5. If correctly configured to boot from the Recovery

CD-ROM, you will notice your system running a
full virus scan of the hard drive and then reach the
Emergency Recovery Welcome screen. If this is not
what is displayed, check to see that the Recovery
CD is installed in the CD-ROM drive and repeat
the previous steps, starting with 2. If you received
a message “This program may not be used on your
