You cannot store your system's applications on the same drive or
disc/disc set where the rest of the system recovery files are stored.
For example, you will need to store the applications on one USB
flash drive and the system recovery files on another USB flash drive.
Or, store the applications on DVD and the system recovery files on a
USB flash drive, or vice versa.
If you are copying files to DVD, insert a blank DVD into
the optical disk drive, or connect an optional external
writable optical disc drive to your computer and insert a
blank DVD into the drive.
