CAUTION: System Recovery deletes all data and programs you created or
installed. Back up any important data to a removable disc.
To create recovery discs, see Recovery discs on page 27.
To perform a System Recovery using recovery discs:
1. If the computer is working, create a backup DVD containing all the data files you want to save, and then
remove the backup disc from the drive tray.
2. Insert recovery disc #1 into the DVD drive tray, and close the tray.
3. If the computer works, tap the Start button, tap the Arrow button next to Shut Down, and then tap Shut

Recovery discs

You should create a set of recovery discs from the recovery image stored on your hard disk drive. This image
contains the operating system and software program files that were originally installed on your computer at the
factory. You can create only one set of recovery discs for your computer, and the discs can be used only with this
computer. Store the recovery discs in a safe place.
NOTE:
Some features might not be available on systems that are shipped without a version of Microsoft
Windows.
