Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs

1You can recover (bring back) the operating system and programs that were included on your hard drive just as they were when you bought the computer.

NOTE: A hard disk drive is a disk inside the computer that stores the operating system, programs, and data.

2You recover the operating system and programs directly from your hard drive, where a copy was placed for your convenience.

We call this part of your hard drive the “recovery partition.” The recovery partition takes up some space on your hard drive.

3You can copy the information of this recovery partition onto CDs or DVDs.

4Then, if you would like to make extra space available on your hard drive, you can delete the recovery partition using a special software tool.

5Do not delete your hard drive partition unless you have made recovery CDs or DVDs.

The recovery discs can be used only with the specified PC model. The discs are licensed for use only with your PC. The recovery CDs/DVD can install the operating system and software on your PC hard disk drive if the software becomes corrupted or is accidentally erased.

Using Recovery CD-DVD Creator

Make recovery CDs or DVDs for your PC by using the Compaq Recovery CD-DVD Creator program before you experience any problem.

The recovery discs set is a complete image of the original PC hard disk drive contents and is matched to your PC model number. The discs set contains the operating system, drivers, and application software that were originally installed on the PC at the factory.

You can use this program to make only one set of recovery CDs or DVDs for your PC. The recovery discs you create can be used only on your PC.

There are several advantages in using DVDs instead of CDs when creating your recovery discs set:

•With a faster data transfer rate, a set of DVD recovery discs will have your PC running much sooner than a CD set will.

•A set of DVDs will probably take you less time to create than a set of CDs.

•A DVD has more capacity than a CD, so there are fewer discs to record and store.

To use this program, your PC must have a CD-RW drive, DVD Writer drive, or other drive that can write to the CDs or DVDs. If necessary, purchase a Windows XP-compatible drive from your local PC or electronics store.
