Creating recovery media with HP Recovery Disc Creator HP Recovery Disc Creator is a software program that offers an alternative way to create recovery media. After you successfully set up the computer, you can create recovery media using HP Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery media performs a system recovery if the hard drive becomes corrupted. A system recovery reinstalls the original operating system and the software programs installed at the factory, and then configures the settings for the programs. HP Recovery Disc Creator can create two kinds of recovery DVDs as follows: ● Windows DVD-Installs the operating system without additional drivers or applications. Choosing this selection creates a DVD that restores the original operating system and the software programs installed at the factory. ● Driver DVD-Installs specific drivers and applications only, in the same way that the HP Software Setup utility installs drivers and applications. Creating recovery media NOTE: Operating system recovery media can be created only once. Thereafter, the option to create that media will not be available. 1. Select Start > All Programs > HP > HP Recovery Disc Creator. 2. Select Driver DVD or Windows DVD. 3. From the drop-down menu, select the drive for burning the recovery media. 4. Click the Burn button to start the burning process. 48 Chapter 6 Backup and recovery
