Creating recovery discs

You can use driver and application recovery discs to restore device drivers or programs. You can create an unlimited number of driver and application recovery disc sets. Before you continue, make sure that your computer has a recordable drive. If your computer does not have a recordable drive, see “Copying driver and application recovery files to a network” on page 122.

Important

If you are recording to CDs, make sure that they are CD-R and not CD-RW discs. If you are recording to a DVD, make sure that it is a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, not DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs.

To record a set of driver and application recovery discs:

1Make sure that you have blank discs ready. Depending on the type of recordable drive your computer has, you need either several CD-R discs or one DVD-R or DVD+R disc.

2Click Start, All Programs, System Recovery, then click Create My Drivers-Applications CD(s). A message asks you if you want to “Burn ISO” (record recovery discs) or “Create ISO” (copy the files to a drive).

3Click Burn ISO. The Recovery CD/DVD Creator dialog box opens.

4Click Start Creation. A message tells you the number of blank discs that are required for the recovery disc set.
