Creating Recovery Media

This section describes how to create Recovery Media.

A recovery image of the software on your computer is stored on the hard

disk drive, and can be copied to either DVD or USB Flash Memory by using

the following steps:
1. Select either blank DVD or USB Flash Memory.
The application will allow you to choose from a variety of different media

onto which the recovery image can be copied including DVD-R, DVD-R DL,

DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW and USB Flash Memory.

2. Turn on your computer and allow it to load the Windows 7 operating

system from the hard disk drive as normal.

3. Insert the media into the computer.

Insert the first blank disc into the optical disc drive tray, or Insert the

USB Flash Memory into one available USB port

4. Double click the Recovery Media Creator from Start Menu.
5. After Recovery Media Creator starts, select the type of media and the

title you wish to copy, and then click the Create button.

Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you create Recovery Media.

Be sure to close all other software programs except the Recovery

Media Creator.

Do not run software such as screen savers which can put a heavy load

on the CPU.

Operate the computer at full power.

Do not use power-saving features.

Do not write to the media when the virus check software is running.

Wait for it to finish, then disable virus detection programs including any

software that checks files automatically in the background.

Do not use utilities, including those intended to enhance hard disk drive

access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage data.

Do not shut down/log off or Sleep/Hibernate while writing or rewriting

the media.

Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subjected to

vibrations such as airplanes, trains, or cars.

Do not use on an unstable surface such as a stand.

Please note that some of the above media may not be compatible with

the optical disc drive installed into your computer. You should therefore

verify the optical disc drive supports the blank media you have chosen

before proceeding.

USB Flash Memory will be formatted and all the data in the USB Flash

Memory will be lost when proceeding.
