Reinstalling Software
Before Reinstallation
Preparing
• Product Recovery CD-ROM (included)
• Panasonic DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive (optional: CF-VDRRT1M, CF-VDRRT2W)
Important
Before the reinstallation procedure, remove all peripherals (except for the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive).

Reinstalling
When reinstallation procedure is performed, the contents of the hard disk will be erased. Be sure to back up any critical data on
your hard disk to another media or to an external hard disk before running the reinstallation procedure.
The reinstallation procedure will return the computer to its original condition.
Even if a hard disk backup area has been created, this backup area will be erased, and all the backed up data will be lost.
