This software includes the pre-installed operating system, applications, and device drivers. To restore the pre-installed software, you can use either the Product Recovery program or a recovery CD. Ordering the recovery CD When the hard disk drive is replaced because of a failure, no Product Recovery program is on the new hard disk. In this case, you must use the Product Recovery CD for the computer. Order the recovery CD and the hard disk drive at the same time so that you can recover the new hard disk drive with the pre-installed software when they arrive. For information on which CD to order, and the latest procedure on how to do so, see "Recovery CDs" on page 150. The Product Recovery program is in the Predesktop Area, a section of the hard disk drive that is not displayed by Windows Explorer. Note: The recovery process might take up to 2 hours. Attention: All of the files on the primary hard disk partition (usually drive C) will be lost in the recovery process. Be sure to back up copies of the files you have saved on your drive C before you begin. To use the Product Recovery program to install your pre-installed software, do the following: 1. If possible, save all your files to media other than your hard disk. 2. Turn off your computer. 28 ThinkPad G40, G41
