Creating recovery discs
Recovery Manager 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
(purchased separately).
✎
Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, and
DVD±RW double-layer discs, are not compatible with
the Recovery Manager software.
■
The computer must be connected to AC power during this
process.
■ Only one set of recovery discs can be created per
computer.
