3-28 Configuring the System
The Selective Application Restore takes place after the Windows OS
has booted. It lets you choose the application software or
documentation to install. Use this program to restore selected
applications from the CD after rebuilding your hard drive, or at any
time to install a software package that came on the NEC Select Install
CD.
See the section called “Installing Applications.”
If possible, back up your data before performing
an OS restore.
The NEC Driver CD contains the device drivers that were delivered on
your system, and a full suite of optional drivers that correspond to
hardware options offered by NECC. For information on installing
optional device drivers, see “NEC Driver CD.”
Note
To install any of the optional device drivers not currently installed
on the system, see “NEC Driver CD.”
Rebuilding the Hard Drive and Restoring the Operating
System
The OS Restore allows you to repartition and/or reformat your hard drive
and then reinstall Windows 95 or Windows 98 or Windows NT from the
CD. You can rebuild the disk and reinstall your operating system in one
of two ways.
!
Auto, to perform a standard rebuild and restore
!
Custom, to rebuild and restore with greater control over restore
functions.
The Auto and Custom programs repartition and/or reformat your hard
drive before reinstalling the operating system.
To only reinstall the operating system in a Windows 95 system while
leaving applications and data files intact, see “Restoring the Operating
System.”
