●
To create recovery discs, your computer must have a DVD writer. Use DVD+R or DVD-R discs
(purchased separately). The discs you use will depend on the type of optical drive you are using.
NOTE: DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, or DVD±RW disc are not supported.
●
You have the option of creating a recovery USB flash drive instead, using a high-quality USB
drive.
●
If you are creating recovery discs, be sure to use high-quality discs. It is normal for the system to
reject defective discs. You will be prompted to insert a new blank disc to try again.
●
The number of discs in the recovery-disc set depends on your computer model (typically 3 to 6
DVDs). The Recovery Media Creation program tells you the specific number of blank discs needed
to make the set. If you are using a USB flash drive, the program will tell you the size of the drive
required to store all the data (minimum of 8 GB).
NOTE: The process of creating recovery media is lengthy. You can quit the process at any time.
The next time you initiate the process, it resumes where it left off.
NOTE: Do not use media cards for creating recovery media. The system may not be able to boot up
from a media card and you may not be able to run system recovery.
To create recovery discs:
1. Close all open programs.
2. Click the Start button, click All Programs, click Security and Protection, click Recovery
Manager, and then click HP Recovery Media Creation. If prompted, click Yes to allow the
program to continue.
3. Click Create recovery media using blank DVD(s), and then click Next.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. Label each disc after you make it (for example, Recovery 1,
Recovery 2), and then store the discs in a secure place.
