Creating Recovery
CDs/DVDs
1 You can recover (bring back) the operating
system and programs that were included on
your hard drive just as they were when you
bought the computer.
Note:
A hard drive is a disk inside the computer
that stores the operating system, programs,
and data.
2 You recover the operating system and
programs directly from your hard drive, where
a copy was placed for your convenience.
We call this part of your hard drive the
“recovery partition.”
The recovery partition takes up some space on
your hard drive.
3 You can copy the information of this recovery
partition onto CDs or DVDs.
4 Then, if you would like to make extra space
available on your hard drive, you can delete
the recovery partition using a special
software tool.
5 Do not delete your hard drive partition
unless you have made recovery CDs or DVDs.
