Creating recovery discs

Recovery Manager 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.

NOTE:

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).

NOTE:

Formatted DVD ± RW discs and DVD ± RW double-layer discs are not compatible

with the Recovery Manager software.

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

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

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 Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation process.
