Preparation for Re-installation

You can format the hard disk and re-install the preinstalled software with the provided recovery CD-ROMs, and set the status of your computer to the same configuration as shipped from the factory. The following items are necessary for re-installation:

• Product Recovery CD-ROMs

• Supplement for PC-RD20 (this booklet)

• Operation Manual

• It will take about 20 minutes to complete the re-installation.

• Use the Product Recovery CD-ROMs only for your computer.

• The Product Recovery CD-ROMs are not for sale. Keep them in a

secure place.

• Unless otherwise specified, the instructions in this booklet assume

that you are installing Windows XP into the C:\WINDOWS directory.

Backing up the data

Before formatting the hard disk, you should back up your data. For details on how to back up your data, see the Windows Online Help.

Selecting the way to recover your system

Your computer has two drives (C: and D:) in its hard disk when it was shipped from the factory. You can select the way to recover your system.

• Recovers C: drive only. (Recommended)

This process will format C: drive only and recover C: drive to the same status as shipped from the factory. Nothing will be done to D: drive. The volume of the drives will not be changed and current ones will be kept.

• Recovers both C: and D: drive.

This process will format both C: and D: drives, and contents of the hard disk are

restored to its original state in C: drive. The volume of the drives will be back to the same as shipped from the factory.

• Formats hard disk and creates new partition.

This process will format the whole hard disk drive and creates a new partition. You can select the volume of C: and D: drives. The contents of the hard disk are restored to its original state in C: drive.
