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 discs

(purchased separately).

✎

Formatted DVD±RW discs 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.

■ Number each disc before inserting it into the computer

optical drive.
