Creating recovery discs

If your computer experiences problems that are not recoverable by other methods, you may need to reinstall the Windows operating system and factory-loaded software and drivers. To reinstall using discs, you must create the set of recovery discs beforehand.

To create recovery discs:

1Click (Start), All Programs, Gateway, then click Gateway Recovery Management. Gateway Recovery Management opens.

2To create recovery discs for the hard drive’s entire original contents, including Windows Vista and all factory-loaded software and drivers, click Create factory default disc.

- OR -

To create recovery discs for only the factory-loaded software and drivers, click Create driver and application backup disc.

Important

We recommend that you create each type of recovery disc as soon as possible.
