Getting Started A recovery image of the software on your computer is stored on the hard disk drive, and can be copied to DVD media by using the following steps: 1. Select either blank DVD media. 2. The application will allow you to choose from a variety of different media onto which the recovery image can be copied including DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL and DVD+RW. Please note that some of the above media may not be compatible with the optical disc drive installed into your computer. You should therefore verify the optical disc drive supports the blank media you have chosen before proceeding. 3. Turn on your computer and allow it to load the Windows Vista® operating system from the hard disk drive as normal. 4. Insert the first blank media into the optical disc drive tray. 5. Double click the Recovery Disc Creator icon on the Windows Vista® desktop, or select the application from Start Menu. 6. After Recovery Disc Creator starts, select the type of media and the title you wish to copy, and then click the Create button. If your optical disc drive can only write to CDs, select 'CD' as the 'Disc Set' within the Recovery Disc Creator application.Otherwise, if your optical disc drive can write both CDs and DVDs, select the type of media you want to create. Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery hard disk drive A portion of the total hard disk drive space is configured as a hidden recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore pre-installed software in the event of a problem. If you subsequently set up your hard disk drive again, do not change, delete or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual, otherwise you may find that space for the required software is not available. In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the partitions on your hard disk drive, you may find that it becomes impossible to setup your computer. When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the Mute panel (Fn+ESC), be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before starting the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for further details. You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the pre-installed software without System Recovery Options. User's Manual 3-13
