Creating recovery discs NOTE: HP recommends creating recovery discs to be sure that you can restore the system to its original factory state if you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these discs after setting up the computer for the first time. NOTE: Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs. NOTE: If thecomputer does not include an internal optical drive, use an optional external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, or purchase the recovery discs for the computer from the HP Website. Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs: ● Use high-quality DVD-R, double-layer DVD-R, DVD+R, double-layer DVD+R, BD-R (writable Blu-ray), or CD-R discs. All these discs are purchased separately. DVDs and BDs have a much higher capacity than CDs. If using CDs, up to 20 discs might be required, whereas only a few DVDs or BDs are required. NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, and BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) 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 optical drive. ● If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The next time you open Recovery Manager, you are prompted to continue the disc creation process. To create a set of recovery discs: 1. Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Manager. Recovery Manager opens. 2. Click Advanced Options. NOTE: If you are operating the computer on battery power, you are prompted to connect to AC power before you can go to the next step. 3. Click Recovery disc creation, and then click Next. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions. ENWW Recovering system information 109
