Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
Copies of your system images, applications, and drivers are available in three locations:
Drivers and Applications Restore disc: Your system comes with a Drivers and Applications Restore
(DAR) disc that contains copies of your pre-installed drivers and applications.
Hard Drive-based Factory Image: On your desktop, there is a [Make Factory Recovery DVD] icon that
allows you to make copies of your original factory image (with the possible exception of certain third-
party applications which will need to be installed separately using the application media bundled with
your system). Having a copy of your factory image allows you to recover your system in the event of a
hard disk failure. It is vitally important that you make a DVD backup copy of the factory image when
you first set up your system. Note that the factory image is stored in a hidden partition in order to ensure
that it is not inadvertently damaged.
User-Configured System Backups: On your desktop, there is a [MyRecovery] icon that allows you to
make backups of your current system image either to another location on your hard drive or on removable
media. Backups can be made on a regular basis so that you can restore your system to a previous state.
Drivers and Applications Restore Disc
The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) disc included with your system contains sets of device
drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your computer configuration.
IN ORDER TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS AND DRIVERS, AND TO MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM
IMAGES, YOU MUST HAVE AN EXTERNALLY CONNECTED DVD DRIVE.
