PS/1 - Restoring Original PS/1 Software to 2133, 2155 or 2168

Applicable to: United States

The IBM PS/1 Models 2133, 2155 (except those with OS/2 pre-installed), and 2168 were developed with PS/1 FITNESS. The PS/1 FITNESS program allows you to easily backup files and restore files on your hard disk. For information on backing up your system, please look in the "Backing Up" section here in the Answer Bank. To RESTORE your original PS/1 Software, please follow the instructions below:

1) If you have created a Recovery diskette, insert this Recovery diskette into drive A with your PS/1 turned off.

2) Turn on your computer.

3) Choose the "Install PS/1 Software" option.

4) Follow the instructions on your screen. (The program prompts you to insert each of the IBM PS/1 Software diskettes, or CD.)


1) If you have a 2133, 2155 or 2168 and have NOT made a Recovery diskette AND have not selected the PS/1 Fitness ERASE option, exit Windows and select the DOS Prompt option.

2) Type: CD\RECOVERY and press [Enter].

3) Type: PKUNZIP -O -D *.ZIP C:\ and press [Enter].

This will restore all of the original preloaded software to your hard disk.
