To do so, follow the instructions in th e “C reating a Ba ckup of the S yst em-Specific Software Drivers”.
Creating a Backup of Bootable Disk and Recovery Image
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the r ecove ry im age was loaded into a
hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the recovery image available to
you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it and re-install
the essential access software using Fujitsu Software Auto Installer.
To make a copy of the recovery image to DVD disks, y ou will need three or four blank
disks to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the disks and keep
them in a safe place to ensure they d o not get damaged.
