Application and System Recovery

Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs
1
You can recover (bring back) the
operating system and programs that were
included on your hard disk drive just as they
were when you bought the computer.
2
You recover the operating system and
programs directly from your hard disk drive,
where a copy was placed for your
convenience.
We call this part of your hard drive the
“
recovery partition .”
The recovery partition takes up some space on
your hard drive.
3
You can copy the information of this recovery
partition onto CDs or DVDs.
4
Then, if you would like to make extra space
available on your hard drive, you can delete
the recovery partition using a special
software tool.
5
Do not delete your hard drive partition
unless you have made recovery CDs or DVDs.
The recovery discs can be used only with the
specified PC model. The discs are licensed for use
only with your PC. The recovery CDs/DVD can
install the operating system and software on your PC
hard disk drive if the software becomes corrupted or
is accidentally erased.
n
A hard drive is a disk
inside the computer
that stores the
operating system,
programs, and data.
