Creating Recovery Media
■
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 anti-virus 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 Standby/Hibernate while writing or
rewriting the disc.

A recovery image of the software on your computer is stored on the hard
disk drive, and can be copied to either DVD or USB Flash Memory by using
the following steps:
1. Select either blank DVD or USB Flash Memory.
2. The application will allow you to choose from a variety of different media
onto which the recovery image can be copied including DVD-R, DVD-R
DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW and USB Flash Memory.
■
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.

4. Insert the media.

desktop, or select the application from Start menu.
