Restoring Your
Pre-installed Software

The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD
contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in
specific directories) that are unique to your notebook
configuration for use as documented below

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications

The Drivers and Applications CD can be used to selec-
tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have

been un-installed or corrupted.

To re-install drivers and/or applications:

1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after

Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is
displayed after the CD is inserted.

2. After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree].

3. A window will appear containing a list of applica-

tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from
the Drivers and Applications CD

4. In the list, check off all the components you want to

install. If you want to install all components, click
[Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the
blue-coded components; you must select grey and
green components separately.

5. Once you have selected the components you wish to

install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the
components will be installed.

6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then

click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the
system.

RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE

The Restore Disc that came with your system contains
two utilities:

■

The

Recovery

utility allows you to restore the original

contents of the C: drive.

■

The

Hard Disk Data Delete

utility on this disc is used

to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from
being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete
utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want
to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.

BOOT Priority Change

Before restoring an image, you must first verify that your
system is set up to boot from the CD drive. To verify/
change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up
from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive),
perform the following steps:

1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the

Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup
Utility.

2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.

3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu.

Press [Enter].

4. If “Optical Media Drive” or “CD-ROM Drive” is not

at the top of the list, arrow down to the drive in the
list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move it
to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot
from the devices in the order in which they are
listed.). Note that the BIOS for some systems will
indicate “CD-ROM Drive”, even when a DVD drive
is connected.

5. If you have an

external

drive connected, proceed to

step 6; otherwise, proceed to step 7.

6. If you have an external drive connected:

If you have access to the internet, visit the
Fujitsu Support web site at http://
www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support to
check for the most current information,
drivers and hints on how to perform
recovery and system updates. See
“Automatically Downloading Driver
Updates” on page 61.

There may be certain free third-party
applications pre-installed on your system
that are not on the DAR CD. The latest
versions of the applications can be
downloaded from the third-party’s website.

The components listed are color-coded in
terms of their install status. Blue indicates
that the component can be installed. Green
indicates that the component needs to be
installed separately. Grey indicates a
component that is already installed; grey
items can be reinstalled, but prior to
installation you will receive a reminder that
the component is already installed.

• The use of this disc requires that you

have a device capable of reading CDs
attached to your system. If you do not
have a built-in CD player, you will need
to attach an external player. For more
information on available external devices,

• This disc can only be used with the

system with which it was purchased.
