12 - Quick start guide
To create recovery discs for only the factory-loaded software and drivers,
click
Create Drivers and Applications Backup Disc
.
Important: We recommend that you create each type of recovery
disc as soon as possible.
The
Create Factory Default Backup
dialog box opens.
This dialog box tells you the number of blank, recordable discs you will
need to complete the recovery discs. Make sure that you have the
required number of identical, blank discs ready before continuing.
3. Insert a blank disc into the drive indicated in the
Backup to
list, then click
Next
. You will be shown the backup progress on the screen.
The drive ejects each disc as it completes burning it.
4. Remove the disc from the drive and mark it with a permanent marker.
Important: Write a unique, descriptive label on each disc, such as
‘Windows Recovery Disc 1 of 2’ or ‘Apps/Drivers Recovery disc’.
Make sure you keep the discs in a safe place that you will
remember.
5. If multiple discs are required, insert a new disc when prompted, then
click
OK
. Continue until the process is complete.
