- Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
Recovering Factory and System Images
The Factory Image is a near-copy of everything that was on your system when you first purchased it. Due
to certain legal limitations, some third-party applications will need to be installed separately using the
application media bundled with your system.
A System Image is the configuration of your system at a particular point of time. You will want to make
system image backups occasionally in order to have points to which you can return without having to go
all the way back to the Factory Image.
To use the factory and system recovery utilities, please follow the instructions in the “Using the Recovery
Utilities” manual that is bundled separately with your system.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU STORE COPIES OF YOUR FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES ON
REMOVABLE MEDIA. THAT BEING THE CASE, YOU MUST HAVE AN EXTERNALLY CONNECTED DVD DRIVE.
