If your computer experiences problems that are not recoverable by
other methods, you may need to reinstall the Windows operating
system and factory-loaded software and drivers. To ensure you can
recover your computer when needed, you should create a recovery
backup as soon as possible.
Creating recovery discs
To reinstall using discs, you must create a set of recovery discs
beforehand. Throughout the process, you will be guided by on-screen
instructions. Please read them carefully!
Caution: If you are using a USB flash drive, ensure it is at least 12
GB and does not contain any previous data.
1. Click on Start
> All Programs > Packard Bell, then click on
Packard Bell Recovery Management.
2. To create recovery backup for the hard drive’s entire original
contents, including Windows and all factory-loaded software and
drivers, click Create Factory Default Disc, or if your computer has no
optical drive, Create Factory Default Backup.

To create recovery discs for only the factory-loaded software and
drivers, click Create Drivers and Applications Backup.
Important: We recommend that you create each type of recovery
disc as soon as possible.
