To create recovery discs, your workstation must have an optical disc drive with DVD writer
capability, and you must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs.
Do not use rewritable discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE (rewritable
Blu-ray) discs; they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or, instead, you can
use a high-quality blank USB ash drive.
◦
If your workstation does not include an integrated optical disc drive with DVD writer capability, but
you would like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical disc drive (purchased
separately) to create recovery discs. If you use an external optical disc drive, it must be connected
directly to a USB port on the workstation; the drive cannot be connected to a USB port on an
external device, such as a USB hub. If you cannot create DVD media yourself, you can obtain
recovery discs for your workstation from HP. See the
Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet
included with the workstation. You can also nd contact information on the HP website. Go to
http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.
◦
Be sure that the workstation is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery
media.
◦
The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.
◦
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have nished creating all of the recovery DVDs.
HP Recovery Manager will nish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP Recovery
Manager, you will be prompted to continue.
To create HP Recovery media:
1. Type recovery in the taskbar search box, and then select HP Recovery Manager.
2. If prompted, click Yes to allow the program to continue.
3. Select Create recovery media, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
If you ever need to recover the system, see Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 22.
