prepare to recover
When you  rst get your computer, it is a good idea to make a backup of the software that came
with your system. Before you create these “recovery discs,” make sure that you have blank discs
ready.
To create discs, click
(Start), All Programs, Gateway, then click Gateway Recovery
Management. To create recovery discs for your factory-loaded hard drive contents (Windows
Vista, pre-installed software and drivers), click Create factory default disc or, to create recovery
discs for only the factory-loaded drivers and software, click Create driver and application
backup disc. Follow the on-screen instructions to  nish.
