prepare to recover

When you fi rst get your computer, it is a good idea to make a backup of the software that came 
with your system. Before you create these “recovery discs,” make sure that your computer has 
a recordable drive and that you have blank discs ready.  Depending on the type of recordable 
drive you use, you’ll need either several CD-R discs or one DVD-R or DVD+R disc. CD-RW, 
DVD-RW, and DVD+RW discs will not work.
To create the disc, click   (

Start

), 

All Programs

eMachines Recovery Center

, click 

eMachines 

Recovery Center

, then click 

Application and Drivers External Media

 and follow the on-

screen instructions. When prompted, choose either 

Create Application and Driver Recovery 

Disc

 (makes a backup of applications and drivers) or 

Create an ISO image

 (creates complete 

system backup). Make your selection, then continue with the on-screen instructions.
