Creating recovery discs with HP Recovery Disc Creator (select models only)
HP Recovery Disc Creator is a software program that oers an alternative way to create recovery discs on
select models. After you successfully set up the computer, you can create recovery discs using HP Recovery
Disc Creator. The recovery discs allow you to reinstall your original operating system as well as select drivers
and applications if the hard drive becomes corrupted. HP Recovery Disc Creator creates two kinds of recovery
discs:
●
Windows 7 operating system DVD—Installs the operating system without additional drivers or
applications.
●
Driver Recovery DVD—Installs specic drivers and applications only, in the same way that the HP
Software Setup utility installs drivers and applications.
To create recovery discs, your computer must have a DVD writer. Use any of the following types of discs
(purchased separately): DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, or DVD±RW. The discs you use will depend on
the type of optical drive you are using.
Creating recovery discs
NOTE: The Windows 7 operating system DVD can be created only once. The option to create that media will
not be available after you create a Windows DVD.
To create the Windows DVD:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Productivity and Tools > HP Recovery Disc Creator.
2. Select Windows disk.
3. From the drop-down menu, select the drive for burning the recovery media.
4. Click the Create button to start the burning process. Label the disc after you create it, and store it in a
secure place.
After the Windows 7 operating system DVD has been created, create the Driver Recovery DVD:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Productivity and Tools > HP Recovery Disc Creator.
2. Select Driver disk.
3. From the drop-down menu, select the drive for burning the recovery media.
4. Click the Create button to start the burning process. Label the disc after you create it, and store it in a
secure place.
Backing up your information
You should create your initial backup immediately after initial system setup. As you add new software and
data les, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current
backup. 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:
