LifeBook Software Re-Installation

200, 500, 600, 700 & 900 Series

You can only re-install the software if you have the Original Windows Operating System with the License Code Provided with the LifeBook and a Windows Floppy Boot disk with CDROM support. With Windows NT as well as the Windows NT CDROM there are an additional three Windows NT Setup floppy disks that are required.

Before you start you will need to make sure that your LifeBook is Connected to both the CDROM and the Floppy Disk Drive, If your unit is modular the CDROM should be in the Module bay and the Floppy Drive on the External Cable.

There are some differences between LifeBook models as to the exact Location of the Drivers, they will be in a folder called Fujitsu but the sub folders within this might differ slightly. The paths given below can act as a guide.

Warning

The re-install process will remove all data from your hard drive, please back up all information before you start.
