Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
If you are copying the recovery files to DVDs, be sure to label each
DVD in the set sequentially (for example, "1 of 3," "2 of 3," etc.), so
that you will know in which order to insert the discs during recovery.

storage drive. Be sure to save your work to external media before
