Recovery discs

You should create a set of recovery discs from the recovery image stored on your hard disk drive. This image
contains the operating system and software program files that were originally installed on your computer at
the factory. You can create only one set of recovery discs for your computer, and the discs can be used only
with this computer. Store the recovery discs in a safe place.
NOTE:
Some features might not be available on systems that are shipped without a version of Microsoft
Windows.
