Saving your Factory Image
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image
was loaded into a hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the
original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system failure,
you will be able to restore it to its original state.
To make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs, you will need several blank
discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are recommended) 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.
