Creating restore media

HP recommends that you create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive to be sure that you can restore your computer to its original factory state if the hard drive fails, or if for any reason you cannot restore using the recovery partition tools. Create these discs or the flash drive after setting up the computer for the first time.

NOTE: HP Recovery Manager allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs or one recovery flash drive. Handle these discs or flash drive carefully and keep them in a safe place.

NOTE: If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive, you can use an optional external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, or you can purchase recovery discs for your computer from the HP Web site. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer, not to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.

Guidelines:

●Purchase high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs.

NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, and double-layer DVD±RW discs, are not compatible with the Recovery Manager software.

●The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.

●Only one set of recovery discs or one recovery flash drive can be created per computer.

NOTE: If you are creating recovery discs, number each disc before inserting into the optical drive.

●If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs or recovery flash drive. The next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the backup creation process.

To create a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive:

1.Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Media Creation.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions.
