Using HP Recovery CD Creator

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

To use this program, your PC must have a |

| |
necessary, purchase a Windows |

The number of CDs in the recovery set |

depends on your PC model. The program tells |

you the number of CDs needed to make the set. |

The process takes some time, including up to |

30 minutes per CD to verify that the information |
