If you install a new hard drive or completely re-format your 
original hard drive, you must recover your system using the 
Windows Vista operating system DVD. You will also need to 
recover your computer’s pre-installed software and device 
drivers.

To completely re-install Windows:

 

1

Insert the Windows DVD into one of your computer’s 
DVD-capable drives, then restart your computer.

2

When the prompt “Press any key to boot from CD 
or DVD” appears, press any key on your keyboard. A list 
of valid boot devices appears.

Press the arrow keys to select the drive containing the 
Windows DVD, then press E

 and follow the 

on-screen instructions.

After Windows is completely re-installed, use your 
software and driver recovery discs to recover your 
computer’s pre-installed software and device drivers.
