Image Backup and Recovery Procedures
Thank you for purchasing a Fujitsu computer. Fujitsu is committed to bringing you
the best compu ting experience with your new system.
It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Recovery Image and Bootable Disk
before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the instructions in the “Creating a
Backup of Boota ble D isk a nd Recovery Image” section of this document.
It is also important that you create a c opy of the software that is essential for your system to acce ss the
internet (hereafte r called “essential access software”) to external writable media or an external drive.
To do so, follow the instructions in the “Crea ting a Backup of the System-Specific Software Drivers”.
Creating a Backup of Bo otable Disk and Recovery I mage
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 r estore it and re-install
the essential access software using F ujitsu So ftware Auto Installer.
To make a co py of the recovery image to DVD disks, you will need three or four blank
disks to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the disks 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 th e following steps.
