Creating a Backup of Bootable Disc and Recovery
Image for Windows 7
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the recovery image was loaded into a
hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the recovery image available to
you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it.
To make a copy of the recovery image to DVD discs, you will need three or four blank
discs to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep
them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.
Note:
If your system does not have an internal writable DVD drive, connect your system
to an external drive* before beginning the following steps.
