Create recovery discs (recommended)

After setting up the computer for the first time, you can create a set of recovery discs of your full factory image using HP Backup and Recovery Manager. The recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and restore the operating system and software to factory settings in case of system failure or instability.

ÄCAUTION: After you create the recovery discs, you can increase the � amount of space on the hard drive by deleting the recovery partition. � However, doing this is not recommended. If you delete this partition, you � will lose any information that is on the partition. �

✎Only one set of recovery discs can be created for this computer.

Before creating recovery discs:

■� Use 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 HP Backup and Recovery Manager software.

■� Number each disc before inserting it into the computer optical drive.

■� If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The next time you open HP Recovery Media Creator, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation process where you left off.
