Replacing the Hard Drive
Reference Guide 63
To prepare a new hard drive
When you install a new hard drive, you also need to prepare it to be able to work
with your notebook.
If you want to restore the Windows software and operating system that were
originally installed on your notebook, use the QuickRestore System Recovery CD
that came with your notebook.
