The Application Recovery CD(s) allow you to reinstall individual applications and device drivers if
they are corrupted or accidentally erased. Reinstalling an individual device driver or software title
may correct a problem you are experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to
recover the entire contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that
shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD(s). See

CD(s)

You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CD(s). The application will not run from
