runs the computer or prevent its proper installation. In the event that you
lose power during the installation process, run the Restore Plus! CD to
install the operating system. Refer to the “Restoring the Software” section
for more information on the Restore Plus! CD.
When the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, the
Windows installation process is complete.
