Choosing
recovery media
● To create recovery discs, your computer must have a DVD writer, and you must use
only high-quality blank DVD+R or DVD-R discs.
NOTE:
You cannot use CDs or DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW DL, DVD-RW DL,
DVD+R DL, or DVD-R DL discs to create recovery discs.
●
If you are creating recovery discs, be sure to use high-quality discs to create your set
of recovery discs. It is normal for discs to be rejected if they are not defect-free. You
will be prompted to insert a new blank disc to try again.
●
The number of discs in the recovery-disc set depends on your computer model
(typically 1–3 DVD discs). The Recovery Disc Creator program will tell you the
specific number of blank discs needed to make the set.
●
You may choose to create a recovery USB flash drive instead, using a high-quality
blank USB drive. If you are using a USB flash drive, the program will tell you the size
of the drive required to store all the data (minimum of 8 GB).
NOTE:
The process of creating recovery media takes some time to verify that the
information written on the media is correct. You can quit the process at any time. The next
time you run the program, it will resume where it left off.
