Note Restoring the original factory configuration or downgrading will completely erase the main hard
drive partition. It is highly recommended to (a) back up all your data before proceeding, (b)
remove all devices you have added, (c) update your PC’s BIOS (refer to page 76) and (d) have
driver software to hand for any add-on hardware. The whole process normally takes about half
an hour.
If you intend to replace your Windows 2000 operating system with Windows NT 4.0, you
should check that you will still be able to use your system as intended. For example, Windows
NT 4.0 does not support Power Management or USB. If you need to use a USB device, then you
should not perform this operation.
