Recovering pre-installed software and drivers
You can perform a partial recovery by recovering the software
and device drivers that were pre-installed at the factory. If you
need to recover software that did not come pre-installed on
your system, you need to follow that software’s installation
instructions.
You can recover pre-installed software and drivers from a set
of recovery discs (you must create the discs) or by using
Gateway Recovery Center.
Preparing for software and device driver recovery
You can usually recover your pre-installed software and
drivers from your hard drive. However, if you ever re-install
Windows from the Windows DVD or install a new hard drive,
you will need to recover your pre-installed software and
drivers using a set of software and driver recovery discs.
Because these discs do not come with your computer, you
should create your own set.
Caution
Although you may not be expecting to need recovery discs, we
recommend that you prepare for any eventuality and create a set of recovery
discs while you have the opportunity.
