Copying the factory default settings image 1 On initial launch, the utility prompts you to copy the factory default settings image saved in a hidden hard disk partition to an optical disk. 2 Insert the optical disk to the optical drive, then click OK to start burning. This function is disabled when the factory default setting image is copied, or when you check the Don't remind me again option. Creating system backups Creating a full backup You can create a full backup image of the current system configuration including all applications, drivers and data. Create a full backup before installing new hardware or software applications to protect your system and data. Note: Creating a full backup erases the previous backup file in the hard disk drive. By default, the utility saves the backup image into the secondary hard disk drive partition. If there is insufficient space, the option is grayed out and a warning appears. Backing up the image into the HDD ensures easy system recovery, without the need for optical disks.
