Creating Recovery Discs

(Highly Recommended)
After setting up the computer for the first time, you can create a
set of recovery discs of the full factory image, using Recovery
Media Creator in the HP Backup and Recovery Manager. The
recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and
recover the operating system and software to factory settings in
case of system failure or instability.
Ä
CAUTION: After you create the recovery discs, you can increase the
amount of available space on the hard drive by deleting the recovery
partition. However, doing this is not recommended. If you delete this
partition, you will lose any information that is on the partition.
✎
Only one set of recovery discs can be created for this computer.
Before creating recovery discs:
■
Obtain high-quality CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R media,
purchased separately.
✎
Formatted DVD±RW discs and DVD±RW double-layer discs
are not compatible with HP Backup and Recovery Manager.
■
Number each disc before inserting it into the optical drive of
the computer.
■
If necessary, you can cancel Recovery Media Creator before
you have finished creating the recovery discs. The next time
you open Recovery Media Creator, you will be prompted to
continue the disc creation process where you left off.
