Using the Windows Vista Operating System Media

Before You Begin (Windows Vista)

If you are considering reinstalling the Windows operating system to correct a

problem with a newly installed driver, first try using Windows Device Driver

Rollback (see "Using Windows Device Driver Rollback" on page 38). If Device

Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, then use System Restore to

return your operating system to the operating state it was in before you

installed the new device driver (see "Using Microsoft Windows System

Restore (Windows XP)" on page 42).

NOTICE:

Before performing the installation, back up all data files on your primary

hard drive. For conventional hard drive configurations, the primary hard drive is the

first drive detected by the computer.

To reinstall Windows, you need the following items:

•

Dell Operating System media

Dell Drivers and Utilities media

•

NOTE:

Your Drivers and Utilities media contains drivers that were installed during

assembly of the computer. Use your Drivers and Utilities media to load any required

drivers, including the drivers required if your computer has a RAID controller.

Reinstalling Windows Vista

The reinstallation process can take 1 to 2 hours to complete. After you

reinstall the operating system, you must also reinstall the device drivers, virus

protection program, and other software.
