If the recovery files on your internal storage drive become corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from your recovery DVDs/media. Also, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage drive from your recovery DVDs/media. It is strongly recommended that you create recovery DVDs/media before using your system for the first time. See “Creating recovery DVDs/media” on page 63 and “Restoring from recovery DVDs/media” on page 66.
