11.2.2 Windows XP Professional

11.2.2.1 General installation procedure

If your software becomes corrupt for any reason, you have two possibilities:

● Restoring the factory state of the software by means of the Restore DVD

The Restore DVD contains an image of the original supplied software (operating system

with installed hard ware drivers) and is included in the Windows XP Professional supply

variant.

● Setting up the operating system with the Recovery DVD

The recovery DVD contains the tools required to set up the hard drive/SSD as well as the

Windows XP Professional operating system. After the required data have been copied to

the hard disk / SSD, you can run Windows XP Professional Setup to install the operating

system.

The Recovery DVD is included in the scope of delivery for Windows XP Professional.

Note

You require a USB keyboard and a USB CD-ROM drive to reinstall the operating system.

Before performing the new installation, you should check the date and time set in the

BIOS Setup (Page 126) and correct it if necessary.
