Creating and using the Product Recovery disc

If your computer is equipped with a recordable CD or DVD drive, you can create a set of Product Recovery discs that enables you to restore the contents of the hard disk to the same state as when the computer was originally shipped from the factory. Product Recovery discs are useful if you transfer the computer to another area, sell the computer, recycle the computer, or as a last resort put the computer in an operational state after all other methods of recovery have failed. As a precautionary measure, it is important to create a set of Product Recovery discs as soon as possible.

Note: The recovery operations you can perform using Product Recovery discs vary depending on the operating system from which they were created. Your Microsoft Windows license permits you to create only one set of Product Recovery discs, so it is important that you store the discs in a safe place after you make them.

To create Product Recovery discs, do the following:

1.From the Windows desktop, open the Start menu, select All Programs, select Lenovo Care, click Create Recovery Media.

2.In the Recovery Discs section, select Create a set of Recovery Discs now.

3.Follow the instructions on the screen.

The following list explains how Product Recovery discs are used on different operating systems:

vWindows XP: Use Product Recovery discs to restore your computer to the original factory contents, perform a custom factory recovery, or to perform other rescue and recovery operations such as rescuing individual files.
