Partition Only Restore
If the preinstalled software on drive C: of the multiple partitioned drive becomes unusable and
you cannot boot from the hard drive, use the Product Recovery Utility to restore the primary
partition to its initial shipping configuration.
Use the Partition Only restore option only if the hard drive consists of
multiple partitions
and
if drive C: contains the operating system and related drivers. Move all
other data and applications to other partitions (drives) or the Partition Only restore process will
erase them completely.
The Partition Only restore option deletes
all
files on drive C: and replaces them with the original
factory installed files. Only use the Partition Only restore option if the preinstalled software on
drive C: is unusable.
Use these steps to perform a Partition Only restore as follows:

Check the Product Recovery CD title and make sure that it is the correct CD for the NEC
Versa notebook and operating system.
2.
Power off the system before connecting the external CD-ROM drive to the notebook.

5.
In the NEC Product Recovery Utility screen, select Partition Only to restore drive C: of a
multiple partitioned drive to its original factory installed state.
Choose the restore option carefully to prevent losing data and
applications installed on the notebook.
If the hard drive is configured with multiple or extended partitions, you might have to reinstall
some software to restore configuration settings and shared files.
6.
Read the Warning screen.
A warning displays indicating that drive C: (the primary drive/partition) is about to be
erased and formatted. It may be necessary to reinstall software to the other drives
(partitions) to reestablish Start Menu links and other configuration requirements stored on
drive C:.
