Creator can create two kinds of recovery DVDs:
●
Windows 7 operating system DVD—Installs the operating system without additional drivers or
applications.

HP Software Setup utility installs drivers and applications.

Backing up your information
You should create system repair media and your initial backup immediately after initial system setup.
As you add new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular
basis to maintain a reasonably current backup. You should also create Windows system repair media
(select models only) which can be used to start up (boot) the computer and repair the operating
system in case of system instability or failure. Your initial and subsequent backups allow you to
restore your data and settings if a failure occurs.
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs.
Note the following when backing up:
●
Store personal files in the Documents library, and back it up regularly.
●
Back up templates that are stored in their associated directories.
●
Save customized settings that appear in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot
of your settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.
●
When backing up to discs, number each disc after removing it from the drive.
NOTE:
