Restoring Your Pre-installed Software

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

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications

The Drivers and Applications disc can be used to
selectively 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 disc after

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

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 Recovery and Utility 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 DVD drive. To
verify/change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-
up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive),
perform one of the following procedures:

Changing priority from BOOT Menu:

1. Start your system and press the [F12] key when the

Fujitsu logo appears. You will open the Boot Menu
window.

2. Using the arrow keys, select the device from which

you want to boot.

3. Press [Enter]. Note that this is a one-time boot

priority. To change the boot priority for a longer
period, perform the steps above in “Changing
priority from BIOS Setup utility”.

If you have access to the internet, visit the
Fujitsu Support website 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.

There may be certain free third-party
applications pre-installed on your system
that are not on the DAR disc. 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 Recovery and Utility Disc only restores
the primary hard disk drive. If you have an
optional second hard disk drive installed,

will not be restored

using these utilities.

• The use of this disc requires that you have

a device capable of reading DVDs
attached to your system. If you do not
have a built-in DVD player, you will need
to attach an external player. For more

• This disc can only be used with the system
