Create Recovery Discs (Recommended - HP Compaq NC2400 Getting Started

Create recovery discs (recommended)

After setting up the computer for the first time, you can create a
set of recovery discs of your full factory image using HP Backup
and Recovery Manager. The recovery discs are used to start up
(boot) the computer and restore the operating system and
software programs to factory settings in case of system failure or
instability.
Ä
CAUTION: After you create the recovery discs, you can increase the
amount of space on the hard drive by deleting the recovery partition.
However, doing this is not recommended. If you delete this partition, you
will lose any information that is on the partition.
✎
Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.
Before creating recovery discs:
■�
If the computer does not have an optical drive, connect the
computer to an optional external MultiBay device with an
optical drive.
■�
Use high quality CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R media.
✎
■�
Number each disc before inserting it into the computer
optical drive.
■�
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have
finished creating the recovery discs. The next time you
open the program, you will be prompted to continue the
disc creation process where you left off.
