CAUTION: Use this guide ONLY if you have problems and must reconfigure your system. This is NOT an upgrade from your preinstalled software.

NOTE: After following the instructions in this guide, the preinstalled programs will be on your hard disk drive and ready to use. The appearance of the desktop may be different than when you turned the computer on the first time, but these differences are cosmetic and will not affect the operation of your programs.


NOTE: This CD contains drivers and applications, which included with your Toshiba Equium system. In the case where your system has become damaged in some way, this CD allows you to re-install some or all of the added components which are not included as part of Windows NT.

In the case of complete system recovery, Windows NT will need to be installed first using the CD ROM(s) provided, and then the added applications contained on this CD can be installed. If Windows NT is still working properly, individual drivers or applications can separately be installed.
