Restoring Your Operating System 
 
Operating System 
Reinstallation
Before You Begin
If you are considering reinstalling the Windows 
operating system to correct a problem with a 
newly installed driver, first try using the Roll Back 
Driver feature in Windows. If this feature does 
not resolve the problem, then use System Restore 
to return your operating system to the operating 
state it was in before you installed the new 
device driver. See “System Restore” on page 48.
CAUTION: Before performing the 
installation, back up all data files on your 
primary hard drive. For conventional hard 
drive configurations, the primary hard 
drive is the first drive detected by the 
computer.
To reinstall Windows, you need the following:
Dell
 Operating System
 disc
Dell
 Drivers and Utilities
 disc 
NOTE: The 
Drivers and Utilities
 disc 
contains drivers that were installed during 
the assembly of the computer. Use the 
Dell 
Drivers and Utilities
 disc to load any 
required drivers. Depending on the region 
from which you ordered your computer, or 
whether you requested the disc, the
 
Dell
 
Drivers and Utilities
 disc and 
Operating 
System
 disc may not ship with your 
computer.
