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.
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 discs
(purchased separately).
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.
