Choosing Recovery Disc Media

There are several advantages to using DVDs instead of CDs when creating recovery discs:

￿DVDs have greater capacity than CDs, so there are fewer discs to record and store.

￿DVD recovery discs take less time to create than CD recovery discs.

To create recovery discs, your computer must have a CD or DVD writer drive, or other drive that can write to CDs or DVDs.

The number of discs in the recovery disc set depends on your computer model. The program that creates the discs tells you the number of blank discs needed to make the set. The process takes some time to verify that the information written on the disc is correct.

You can quit the process at any time. The next time you run the program, it begins where you left off.

To create Recovery discs:

1Close all open programs.

2Click the Windows Start Button.

3Click All Programs.

4Click PC Help & Tools.

5Click Recovery Disc Creator.

6The Recovery Disc Creator window appears.

7Follow the onscreen instructions. Label each disc as you make it (for example, Recovery 1, Recovery 2).

8Store the Recovery discs in a safe place.

System Recovery Options

System Recovery should be attempted in the following order:

￿Through the Windows Vista Start menu.

￿By pressing the F11 key on the keyboard during startup.

￿Through recovery discs that you create.

￿Through recovery discs purchased from HP Support. To purchase recovery discs, go to http://www.hp.com/support and visit the Software & Driver downloads page for your computer model.
