3 Restoring Installed Software
3.1 Introduction
If your operating system should fail to start, or if faults should occur on your hard
drive, it may be necessary to reinstall the pre-installed software. You can restore
this with the following resources.
Supplied with your computer are:
• "Fujitsu Siemens Product Recovery CD/DVD"
• "Drivers & Utilities CD/DVD"
• Driver/application CDs/DVDs (optional)
• Manual for Windows operating system
• CoA (Certificate of Authenticity) Label
You are not asked for this registration code when restoring Windows.
This delivery applies only to Microsoft® operating systems.
IMPORTANT! 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, they cannot be restored.
We urgently recommend that, as far as is possible, you back up all
your data files prior to reinstalling the operating system as all files
may be deleted from the hard disk as a result of the restore process.
You must reinstall all programs you have installed yourself since
purchasing your computer and then restore your data files using the
backup copies. No liability whatsoever is accepted for errors or loss
of data as a consequence of this.
TIP! If your PC is equipped with a combo driver (burner), use this to
create the backup copies. Burn a data CD. An external USB bulk
memory (hard disk or memory stick) is a useful expansion to your
PC.
