prepare to recover

When you first get your computer, it is a good idea to make a backup of the software that came with your system. Before you create these“recovery discs,” make sure that you have blank discs ready.

To create discs, click (Start), All Programs, eMachines, then click eMachines Recovery Management. To create recovery discs for your factory-loaded hard drive contents (Windows Vista, pre-installed software and drivers), click Create factory default disc or, to create recovery discs for only the factory-loaded drivers and software, click Create driver and application backup disc. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish.
