Restoring the pre-installed system
When the hard disk drive is replaced because of a failure,
no Product Recovery program is on the new hard disk. In
this case, you must use the recovery CD for the computer.
Order the recovery CD and the hard disk drive at the same
time so that you can recover the new hard disk drive with
the pre-installed software when they arrive. For information
on which CD to order, see “Recovery CDs” on page 257
