Restoring installed software
!
Please create backup copies of your files on a regular basis. If data is damaged or lost,
you can restore your applications using the original data carriers. However, if you do not
have backup copies of your own data files, it is no longer possible to restore them.
If your operating system will not start, or if there are errors on the hard disk, the pre-installed software
may have to be re-installed.
