Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs

1 You can recover (bring back) the operating system and programs that were included on your hard
disk drive just as they were when you bought the computer.
Note:
A hard drive is a disk inside the computer that stores the operating system, programs, and data.
2 You recover the operating system and programs directly from your hard disk drive, where a copy was
placed for your convenience.
We call this part of your hard drive the "recovery partition."
The recovery partition takes up some space on your hard drive.
3 You can copy the information of this recovery partition onto CDs or DVDs.
4 Then, if you would like to make extra space available on your hard drive, you can delete the recovery
partition using a special software tool.
5 Do not delete your hard drive partition unless you have made recovery CDs or DVDs.
