Creating Recovery Media
This section describes how to create Recovery Media.
A recovery image of the software on your computer is stored on the hard
disk drive, and can be copied to either CD, DVD or USB Flash Memory by
using the following steps:
1. Select either blank CD, DVD or USB Flash Memory.
The application will allow you to choose from a variety of different media
onto which the recovery image can be copied including CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW and USB
Flash Memory.
2. Turn on your computer and allow it to load the Windows 7 operating
system from the hard disk drive as normal.
3. Insert the media into the computer.
■ Insert the first blank disc into the optical disc drive tray, or
Insert the USB Flash Memory into one available USB port
■ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you create Recovery Media.
■ Be sure to close all other software programs except the Recovery
Media Creator.
■ Do not run software such as screen savers which can put a heavy load
on the CPU.
■ Operate the computer at full power.
■ Do not use power-saving features.
■ Do not write to the media when the virus check software is running.
Wait for it to finish, then disable virus detection programs including any
software that checks files automatically in the background.
■ Do not use utilities, including those intended to enhance hard disk drive
access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage data.
■ Do not shut down/log off or Sleep/Hibernate while writing or rewriting
the media.
■ Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subjected to
vibrations such as airplanes, trains, or cars.
■ Do not use on an unstable surface such as a stand.
■ Please note that some of the above media may not be compatible with
the optical disc drive installed into your computer. You should therefore
verify the optical disc drive supports the blank media you have chosen
before proceeding.
■ USB Flash Memory will be formatted and all the data in the USB Flash
Memory will be lost when proceeding.
