Hi,

I'm planning on restoring my laptop Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi1505 to it's orginal settings. I don't seem to have a recovery CD with it, only a drivers and utilities CD.

Would anybody know how to restore back to factory settings?

Thanks

Restoring the system from the hard disk

Your personal data could be lost during restoration of the factory default settings. The
operating system is restored on the system partition on which the factory default
settings were installed. Data on other partitions or hard disks is unaffected by this
restore processes. Should your system be attacked by 'uninvited guests' from the Net,
such as viruses, reformat all hard disks and restore your system with the system restore
disks provided with the computer or which you have created.
Caution If you would like to set up a RAID system on your PC or notebook, you must
create your system restore disks before you do so.
If you need to use these disks, it may first be necessary to terminate the
RAID connection.
Please also note that, in the case of RAID systems already installed, it is
possible that restoring the hard disk as described below may not function.
