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, or one recovery USB flash drive, for your computer. The recovery discs, or the recovery USB
flash drive, can be used only with this computer. Store the recovery discs, or the recovery USB flash
drive, in a safe place.
