Getting Started

What you will need

To create the Disaster Recovery Set, you will need the following items:

For Windows 95 and Windows 98

■One or more blank, formatted 1.44MB diskettes*

■One or more blank HP CD-R/CD-RWs*

■Windows 95/98 installation CD or install set

What is an install set? An install set is the list of files used to install

aproduct or operating system. Computers shipped with pre-installed operating systems (i.e. Windows 95/98) may not include a Windows installation CD. In this case, HP Disaster Recovery will require your Windows install set to create the Disaster Recovery Set.

For Windows NT

■Four (4) blank, formatted 1.44MB diskettes

■One or more blank HP CD-R/CD-RWs*

■Windows NT installation CD

*The number of diskettes and CD-R/CD-RWs required will depend on the amount of data on your system.

Creating the Disaster Recovery Set

To create your Disaster Recovery Set:

1.Click the Start button located on the Windows taskbar. Select Programs, HP CD-Writer Plus, HP Disaster Recovery, then select Disaster Recovery.

HP Disaster Recovery Wizard appears.

2.Follow the instructions on the Wizard screens to create your Disaster Recovery Set.

It is recommended that you label your diskettes and CD(s) when prompted in the Wizard, and store them in a safe place. A new DR Set should be created when new hardware or software has been added to your system, or if many changes have been made to your files since the last DR Set was created.
