Software Updates, Restorations and Utilities Repairing or Reinstalling the Operating System The Operating System disc included with your notebook can be used to repair or reinstall the operating system. Either operations may take 1 to 2 hours to complete. ■ Repairing the operating system preserves your data and settings. ■ Reinstalling the operating system deletes all files on the notebook. After the operating system has been reinstalled, all device drivers must also be reinstalled. It is recommended that you try to restore your system by using the System Restore utility before you consider repairing or reinstalling your operating system. For restoration instructions, see the "System Restore" section, earlier in this chapter. If a System Restore restoration fails to restore functionality, first try to repair the operating system. If the repair procedure does not restore functionality, you may need to reinstall the operating system. Hardware and Software Guide 9-9
