Creating Recovery Discs

✎

✎

PC Recovery Disc Creator creates a set of recovery CDs or DVDs for the computer. Use recovery discs to restore the operating system and software programs to factory settings, in case of system failure or instability.

Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs.

Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:

■You will need high quality CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R media (purchased separately).

DVD±RW/R and double-layer DVD±RW are not compatible with the PC Recovery Disc Creator software.

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

■Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.
