●

To create recovery discs, your computer must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability,

and you must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do

not use rewritable discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE

(rewritable Blu-ray) discs; they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or,

instead, you can use a high-quality blank USB flash drive.

●

If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you

would like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased

separately) to create recovery discs, or you can obtain recovery discs for your computer from

support. See the

Worldwide Telephone Numbers

booklet included with the computer. You can

also find contact information from the HP website. Go to

http://www.hp.com/

support

, select your

country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions. If you use an external optical drive, it

must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer; the drive cannot be connected to a

USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.

●

Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery

media.

●

The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.

●

If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating all of the recovery

DVDs. HP Recovery Manager will finish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP

Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue, and the remaining discs will be burned.
