To Use the System Recovery CD(s) 
The System Recovery utility formats your hard disk drive and restores all the 
original software applications. Your computer is returned to the original factory 
settings.
If you experience a problem with your computer, reinstalling an individual 
application or device driver may correct the problem. You may not need to 
recover the entire contents of your hard drive. 
When you successfully complete your system recovery, you are prompted to 
complete the Windows registration process.
System Recovery Options
System Drive Recovery
All data on Drive C is deleted. The factory default settings and software 
applications are restored on this drive only.
Change Partition Size
All partitions, custom installations, and changes are removed from the hard disk 
drive. You can set the partition sizes for both the Drive C and Drive D. The 
original, preinstalled operating system and software applications are restored.
Recovery to Original Factory Defaults
All data and partitions are removed from the hard disk drive. All original factory 
settings, operating system, and preinstalled software is restored.
The System Recovery process removes all software that you may have 
installed since you started using your computer. Reinstall any applications 
that were not included with the computer when you purchased it.
Use the Application Recovery CD(s) to reinstall individual applications.
The System Recovery utility does not back up your system's data. If you wish 
to retain your system data, perform a back up to an external media.
