The Restore Plus! CD is used to perform a destructive restore of the PC. This process will restore
. .
the PC to a near-factory shipping state with software and drivers provided by HP. The process will
. .
. .
format and partition the first bootable hard disk volume in the computer. The Restore Plus! process
. .
does not affect data contained on any hard disk volumes other than the first bootable hard disk
. .
. .
(usually the IDE hard disk connected as master to the primary IDE controller).
. .
. .
If you have changed the controller boot order processing within the system BIOS (located by
. .
pressing F10 during system boot) to make a SCSI controller the first bootable device, the Restore
. .
. .
Plus! process will use the first SCSI hard disk in the SCSI chain for restoration purposes.
. .
. .
The Restore Plus! CD displays a step-by-step interactive wizard that prompts for all necessary CD
. .
. .
media, then automates the installation of the Windows operating system and HP-supplied software
. .
components.
