Creating recovery media with HP Recovery Disc Creator
HP Recovery Disc Creator is a software program that offers an alternative way to create recovery
media. After you successfully set up the computer, you can create recovery media using HP
Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery media performs a system recovery if the hard drive becomes
corrupted. A system recovery reinstalls the original operating system and the software programs
installed at the factory, and then configures the settings for the programs.
HP Recovery Disc Creator can create two kinds of recovery DVDs as follows:
●
Windows DVD—Installs the operating system without additional drivers or applications.
Choosing this selection creates a DVD that restores the original operating system and the
software programs installed at the factory.
●
Driver DVD—Installs specific drivers and applications only, in the same way that the HP
Software Setup utility installs drivers and applications.
