Getting Started Restoring from Recovery HDD For models only with HDD Recovery installed. If preinstalled files are damaged, use the HDD Recovery installation to restore them. When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost.Make sure you have a backup copy of your data, before you perform a complete system recovery. Create Optical Recovery Discs A recovery image of your computer is stored on the hard disk. You may use this image to create CD or DVD recovery discs using the following steps: 1. Select either blank CDs or DVD media. 2. The application will allow you to choose a type of media to create recovery CDs/DVD including: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW. Some media may not be compatible with the Optical Drive of your computer. Please verify your Optical Drive supports the blank media you choose. 3. Turn on your computer to open Windows XP. 4. Insert the (first) blank media into the tray of the Optical Drive. 5. Double click the Recovery Disc Creator Launcher icon on the Windows XP 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 to the media then click the Burn button. If your Optical Drive can only write to CDs, select "CD" as the "Type" on Recovery Disc Creator. If your Optical Drive of your computer can write to either CD or DVDs, select the one you are using as the "Type" on Recovery Disc Creator.
