Creating and using recovery media
You can use recovery media to restore the hard disk drive to the factory default
settings. Recovery media are useful if you transfer the computer to another area,
sell the computer, recycle the computer, or put the computer in an operational state
after all other methods of recovery have failed. As a precautionary measure, it is
important to create recovery media as early as possible.
Note:
The recovery operations you can perform using recovery media vary
depending on the operating system from which the recovery media were
created. The recovery media might contain a boot medium and a data
medium. Your Microsoft Windows license permits you to create only one
data medium, so it is important that you store the recovery media in a safe
place after you have made them.
Creating recovery media
This section provides instructions on how to create recovery media on different

Note: On the Windows 7 operating system, you can create recovery media using
