Tips & Tricks

folder that indicates which computer the
files are for. For example, store the files for
a Gateway 7200XL in a folder named GW
7200XL Apps Recovery.
To create discs from the files you just copied, see “Creating discs from recovery
files on a network” on page 31.
Creating discs from recovery files on a network
Before you continue, make sure that your computer has a recordable drive.
To create recovery discs from recovery files stored on a network:
Important
If you are recording to CDs, make sure
that they are CD-R and not CD-RW discs.
If you are recording to DVDs, make sure
that they are DVD-R or DVD+R discs, not
DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs.
1 Make sure that you have blank discs ready. If the ISO filenames start with
CD, you will need blank CDs. If the ISO filenames start with DVD, you will
need blank DVDs.
Important
Use the correct type of blank disc for the
recovery (ISO) file. For example, if the
recovery (ISO) file was created for a DVD,
make sure you use a blank DVD+R or
DVD-R disc.
2 Insert a blank disc into the recordable drive of any networked computer.
You need one blank disc for each recovery (ISO) file.
