Restoring Your System Image and Software

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc (along with other
applicable media such as application discs) before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the
instructions in the "Saving Your Factory Image" and "Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs"
sections of this chapter.

Saving and Recovering Your Factory and System Images

Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other important procedures,
such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system images, managing your images, and
restoring the partitions on a hard drive.

Saving your Factory Image
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition
on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system
failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.
