Creating recovery discs with HP Recovery Disc Creator (select models only)

HP Recovery Disc Creator is a software program that offers an alternative way to create recovery discs on
select models. After you successfully set up the computer, you can create recovery discs using HP Recovery
Disc Creator. The recovery discs allow you to reinstall your original operating system as well as select drivers
and applications if the hard drive becomes corrupted. HP Recovery Disc Creator creates two kinds of recovery
discs:
Windows 7 operating system DVD—Installs the operating system without additional drivers or
applications.
Driver Recovery DVD—Installs specific drivers and applications only, in the same way that the HP
Software Setup utility installs drivers and applications.
To create recovery discs, your computer must have a DVD writer. Use any of the following types of discs
(purchased separately): DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, or DVD±RW. The discs you use will depend on
the type of optical drive you are using.
