Creating a set of recovery discs

HP recommends that you create recovery discs to be sure that you can restore your system to its
original factory state if you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these discs after
setting up the computer for the first time.
NOTE: This task will require an optional external optical drive. The external optical drive must be
connected to the USB port on the computer, not to a USB port on another external device, such as a
hub or docking station.
Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only
one set of recovery discs.
Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:
●
You will need high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-R (writable Blu-ray), or CD-R discs. All these
discs are purchased separately. DVDs have a larger storage capacity than CDs. If you use CDs,
up to 20 discs may be required, whereas only a few DVDs are required.
NOTE:
(rewritable Blu-ray) discs—are not compatible with the Recovery Manager software.
●
The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.
● Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.
● Number each disc before inserting it into an optical drive.
●
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The
next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation
process.
