Preparing for software and device driver recovery
You can usually recover your pre-installed software and
drivers from your hard drive. However, if you ever re-install
Windows from the Windows DVD or install a new hard drive,
you need to recover your pre-installed software and drivers
using a set of software and driver recovery discs. Because
these discs do not come with your convertible notebook, you
should create your own set.
Caution
Although you may not be expecting to need recovery discs, we
recommend that you prepare for any eventuality and create a set of recovery
discs while you have the opportunity.
You should create a set of discs for recovering your
pre-installed software and device drivers, in case you need to
use them later for a complete system recovery.
To create discs for recovering pre-installed software
and drivers:
1
Click or tap
Recovery Center, then click or tap Gateway Recovery
Center. The Gateway Recovery Center opens.
2
Click or tap Applications and drivers external media,
then click or tap Next. The What would you like to do?
dialog box opens.
