Creating drivers and applications recovery discs
You can use drivers and applications recovery discs to restore device drivers or
programs. You can create an unlimited number of drivers and applications
recovery disc sets. Before you continue, make sure that your notebook has a
recordable drive. If your notebook does not have a recordable drive, see
“Copying drivers and applications recovery files to a network” on page 30.
To record a set of drivers and applications recovery discs:
Important
If you are recording to CDs, make sure
that they are CD-R and not CD-RW discs.
If you are recording to a DVD, make sure
that it is a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, not
DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs.
1 Make sure that you have blank discs ready. Depending on the type of
recordable drive your notebook has, you need either several CD-R discs
or one DVD-R or DVD+R disc.
