Creating discs from recovery files on a network
Before you continue, make sure that your computer has a recordable drive.
To create recovery discs from recovery files stored on a network:
Important
If you are recording to CDs, make sure
that they are CD-R and not CD-RW discs.
If you are recording to DVDs, make sure
that they are DVD-R or DVD+R discs, not
DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs.
1
Make sure that you have blank discs ready. If the ISO filenames start with
CD
, you will need blank CDs. If the ISO filenames start with
DVD
, you will
need blank DVDs.
Important
Use the correct type of blank disc for the
recovery (ISO) file. For example, if the
recovery (ISO) file was created for a DVD,
make sure you use a blank DVD+R or
DVD-R disc.
2
Insert a blank disc into the recordable drive of any networked computer.
You need one blank disc for each recovery (ISO) file.
3
Click
Start
, then click
My Computer
.
4
Open the network location
of the recovery files.
5
Double-click the file for the
first disc. Your media
burning software opens.
6
Follow the on-screen
instructions of your media
burning software to
complete the burning of the
recovery disc(s).
Important
Use a permanent marker to label each
disc “Gateway Drivers and Applications
Recovery.” As you remove each disc from
the drive, use the marker to label each
disc
1 of x
,
2 of x
,
3 of x
, and so on.
7
When the disc is complete, remove that disc and insert another.
8
Repeat
Steps 5-7
for each recovery file until each file is recorded onto a
disc. You are done.
