Recovery Discs

You should create a set of recovery discs from the recovery image stored on your hard disk drive. This image contains the operating system and software program files that were originally installed on your computer at the factory. You can create only one set of recovery discs for your computer, and the discs can be used only with this computer. Store the recovery discs in a safe place.

NOTE: Some features might not be available on systems that are shipped without a version of Microsoft Windows.

Choosing Recovery Discs

●To create recovery discs, your computer must have a DVD writer, and you must use only highquality blank DVD+R or DVD-R discs.

NOTE: You cannot use CDs or DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW DL, DVD-RW DL, DVD+R DL, or DVD-R DL discs to create recovery discs.

●Use high-quality discs to create your set of recovery discs. It is normal for discs to be rejected if they are not defect-free. You will be prompted to insert a new blank disc to try again.

●The number of discs in the recovery-disc set depends on your computer model (typically 3–6 DVD discs). The Recovery Disc Creator program tells you the specific number of blank discs needed to make the set.

NOTE: The process of creating recovery discs 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 resumes where it left off.

Creating Recovery Discs

To create recovery discs:

1.Close all open programs.

2.Click the Start button, click All Programs, click Recovery Manager, and then click Recovery Disc Creation. If prompted, click Yes to allow the program to continue.

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