recordable discs you will need to complete the recovery discs. Make
sure that you have the required number of identical, blank discs.

on the screen.

• If you a using optical discs, the drive ejects each disc as it completes
burning it. Remove the disc from the drive and mark it with a
permanent marker.
If multiple discs are required, insert a new disc when prompted, then
click
OK
. Continue until the process is complete.
• If you a using a USB disk, unplug the USB drive and mark it with a
permanent marker.

such as ‘Windows Recovery Backup’ or ‘Apps/Drivers Recovery
Backup’.
