7/8/8.1 procedures
It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Recovery Image and Bootable
Disc before beginning to use your system.
It is also important that you create a copy of essential software to external writable
media or an external drive. Follow the instructions in the “Creating a Backup of the
System-Specific Software Drivers” to create the copy.
Creating a backup of bootable disc and recovery image
for Windows 7/8/8.1
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the recovery image was loaded into
a hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the recovery image
available to you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it.
To make a copy of the recovery image to DVD discs, you will need three or four blank
discs 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.
Note:
If your system does not have an internal writable DVD drive, connect your
system to an external drive* before beginning the following steps.
1. Launch System Restore and Recovery from the desktop icon. It will allow you to
create the Bootable Disc and the Recovery Image Disc Set.
2. On “Step 1: Select the Bootable Disc from the list”:
a. Select a media type.
b. Notice the number of discs that are needed for the set.
