Creating recovery discs
If your computer experiences problems that are not
recoverable by other methods, you may need to reinstall the
Windows operating system and factory-loaded software and
drivers. To reinstall using discs, you must create the set of
recovery discs beforehand.
To create recovery discs:
1 Click (Start), All Programs, Gateway, then click
Gateway Recovery Management. Gateway Recovery
Management opens.
2 To create recovery discs for the hard drive’s entire
original contents, including Windows Vista and all
factory-loaded software and drivers, click Create
factory default disc.
- OR -
To create recovery discs for only the factory-loaded
software and drivers, click Create driver and
application backup disc.
Important
We recommend that you create each type of recovery disc as soon
as possible.
