Creating Recovery Discs - Compaq Presario V3000 Service Manual

Creating Recovery Discs

PC Recovery Disc Creator creates a set of recovery CDs or DVDs
for the computer. Use recovery discs to restore the operating
system and software programs to factory settings, in case of
system failure or instability.
✎
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 CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R media
(purchased separately).
✎
DVD±RW/R and double-layer DVD±RW are not compatible
with the PC Recovery Disc Creator 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 the computer
optical drive.
■
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have
finished creating the recovery discs. The next time you open
PC Recovery Disc Creator, you will be prompted to continue
the disc creation process.
