Re-installation Instructions

Preparation for Re-installation

You can format the hard disk and re-install the preinstalled software with the

recovery CD-ROM, and set the status of your computer to the same configuration as

shipped from the factory. Necessary for re-installation are the following:

•

Product Recovery CD-ROMs

•

Floppy disks or other external media for data backup

•

Getting Started Microsoft Windows 98 manual

•

It will take about 30 minutes to complete the re-installation.

•

It takes about five seconds for the system to recognize a CD-ROM. If

you operate too quickly, an error message may appear. In this case,

return to the first step and repeat the installation.

•

Use the Product Recovery CD-ROM only for your computer.

•

Unless otherwise specified, the instructions in this booklet assume

that you are installing Windows 98 into the C:\WINDOWS directory.

In the re-installation procedures, use only AC power. If you use the

battery and the battery power becomes low, you cannot continue the re-

installation.

Backing up the data

Before formatting the hard disk, you should back up your data. For details on how

to back up your data, see the Windows Online Help.

Although the pointer may be shown on the screen, never touch the

keyboard or the glide pad during recovery except when the message

prompts you to.
