DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and CD-RW discs cannot be used to create recovery discs.

You must use high-quality discs. Because making a set of recovery discs is so important, there is a very high verification standard for this process. You may see error messages such as Recording failure when writing disc or Error detected during disc verification.

Your discs may be rejected if they are not defect-free. You will be prompted to insert a new blank disc to try again. It is normal that some of your discs may be rejected.

The number of discs in the recovery disc set depends on your computer model. The program that creates the discs tells you the specific number of blank discs needed to make the set. The following table gives an idea of how many discs you will need.
