Recovery media You should create a set of recovery discs, or a recovery USB flash drive, from the recovery image stored on your hard disk drive. This image contains the operating system and software program files that were originally installed on your computer at the factory. You can create only one set of recovery discs, or one recovery USB flash drive, for your computer; the recovery discs, or the recovery drive, can be used only with this computer. Store the recovery discs, or the recovery USB flash drive, in a safe place. NOTE: Some features might not be available on systems that are shipped without a version of Microsoft Windows. Choosing recovery media ● To create recovery discs, your computer must have a DVD writer, and you must use only highquality 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. ● You have the option of creating a recovery USB flash drive instead, using a high-quality blank USB drive. ● If you are creating recovery discs, be sure to use high-quality 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 3-6 DVD discs). The Recovery Media Creation program tells you the specific number of blank discs needed to make the set. 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 discs, or a recovery USB drive, takes some time to verify that the information written on the disc, or USB flash drive, is correct. You can quit the process at any time. The next time you run the program, it resumes where it left off. 172 Appendix H System Recovery

Recovery media

You should create a set of recovery discs, or a recovery USB flash drive, from the recovery image

stored on your hard disk drive. This image contains the operating system and software program files

that were originally installed on your computer at the factory. You can create only one set of recovery

discs, or one recovery USB flash drive, for your computer; the recovery discs, or the recovery drive,

can be used only with this computer. Store the recovery discs, or the recovery USB flash drive, in a

safe place.

NOTE:

Some features might not be available on systems that are shipped without a version of

Microsoft Windows.

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.

●

You have the option of creating a recovery USB flash drive instead, using a high-quality blank

USB drive.

●

If you are creating recovery discs, be sure to use high-quality 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 3–6

DVD discs). The Recovery Media Creation program tells you the specific number of blank discs

needed to make the set. 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 discs, or a recovery USB drive, takes some time to

verify that the information written on the disc, or USB flash drive, is correct. You can quit the

process at any time. The next time you run the program, it resumes where it left off.
