Creating drivers and applications recovery discs
Important
If you are recording to CDs, make sure
that they are CD-R and not CD-RW discs.
If you are recording to a DVD, make sure
that it is a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, not
DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs.
You can use drivers and applications recovery discs to restore device drivers or
programs. You can create an unlimited number of drivers and applications
recovery disc sets. Before you continue, make sure that your computer has a
recordable drive. If your computer does not have a recordable drive, see
“Copying drivers and applications recovery files to a network” on page 119.
