Restoring the Operating System
To restore the original Windows operating system and factory-installed software, insert the Restore Plus!
CD that came with your HP Workstation. Carefully read and follow the instructions provided with the
Restore Plus! CD.
NOTE: If you restore your system using the Restore Plus! CD, some settings, such as your power
management settings (such as the Energy Star® settings), will need to be reapplied.
In some scenarios, such as if the system is bootable to Windows, an alternative method is to use the
System Restore feature included with Windows XP. To restore Windows to a previous state, select Start >
All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore and follow the on-screen
instructions.
For more information about restoring the Linux OS or software, see “Restoring the Linux Operating System”
on page 35.
