Troubleshooting

Restoring Your Pre-installed Software

The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) disc

contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in

specific directories) that are unique to your computer

configuration for use as documented below.

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications

The Drivers and Applications disc can be used to

selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may

have been un-installed or corrupted.

To re-install drivers and/or applications:

1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR disc after

Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is

displayed after the disc is inserted.

2. After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree].

3. A window will appear containing a list of applica-

tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from

the Drivers and Applications disc

4. In the list, check off all the components you want to

install. If you want to install all components, click

[Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the

blue-coded components; you must select grey and

green components separately.

5. Once you have selected the components you wish to

install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the

components will be installed.

6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then

click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the

system.

RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE

The Recovery and Utility Disc that came with your

system contains two utilities:

■

The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original

contents of the C: drive.

■

The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used

to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from

being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete

utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want

to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.

BOOT Priority Change

Before restoring an image, you must first verify that

your system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To

verify/change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-

up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive),

perform the following steps:

1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the

Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup

Utility.

2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.

3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu.

Press [Enter].

4. If “Optical Media Drive” or “CD-ROM Drive” is not

at the top of the list, arrow down to the drive in the

list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move it

to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot

from the devices in the order in which they are

If you have access to the internet, visit the

Fujitsu Support website at: http://

www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support to

check for the most current information,

drivers and hints on how to perform

recovery and system updates.

There may be certain free third-party

applications pre-installed on your system

that are not on the DAR disc. The latest

versions of the applications can be

downloaded from the third-party’s website.

The components listed are color-coded in

terms of their install status. Blue indicates

that the component can be installed. Green

indicates that the component needs to be

installed separately. Grey indicates a

component that is already installed; grey

items can be reinstalled, but prior to

installation you will receive a reminder that

the component is already installed.

The Recovery and Utility Disc only restores

the primary hard disk drive. If you have an

optional second hard disk drive installed, it

will not be restored using these utilities.

• The use of this disc requires that you have

a device capable of reading DVDs

attached to your system. If you do not

have a built-in DVD player, you will need

to attach an external player. For more

computers.

• This disc can only be used with the system

with which it was purchased.
