Tools provided by the operating system and by HP Recovery Manager software are designed 
to help you with the following tasks for safeguarding your information and restoring it in 
case of a system failure:

■

Backing up your information

■

Creating a set of recovery discs

■

Creating system restore points

■

Recovering a program or driver

■

Performing a full system recovery

HP recommends that you create recovery discs to be sure that you can restore your system to 
its original factory state if you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these 
discs after setting up the computer for the first time.

✎

If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive, you can use an optional 
external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, or you can 
purchase recovery discs for your computer from the HP Web site. The external optical 
drive must be connected to the USB port on the computer, not to a USB port on another 
external device, such as a hub or docking station.

Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation 
of only one set of recovery discs.

Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:

■

You will need high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-R (writable Blu-ray) or CD-R discs. 
All these discs are purchased separately. DVDs have a larger storage capacity than CDs. 
If you use CDs, up to 20 discs may be required, whereas only a few DVDs are required.

✎

Double-layer discs and read-write discs—such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, and 
BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs—are not compatible with the Recovery 
Manager software.

■

The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.

■

Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.

■

Number each disc before inserting it into an optical drive.

■

If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery 
discs. The next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the 
disc creation process.

To create a set of recovery discs:

1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Recovery Manager, and then click Recovery 

Disc Creation.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
