Note: There are a variety of methods to choose from when considering how to

recover software in the event of a software or hardware-related problem.

Some methods vary depending on the type of operating system you have.

Creating and using the Product Recovery disc

If your computer is equipped with a recordable CD or DVD drive, you can create a

set of Product Recovery discs that enable you to restore the contents of the hard

disk drive to the same state as when the computer was originally shipped from the

factory. Product Recovery discs are useful if you transfer the computer to another

area, sell the computer, recycle the computer, or as a last resort put the computer

in an operational state after all other methods of recovery have failed. As a

precautionary measure, it is important to create a set of Product Recovery discs as

soon as possible.

Note: The recovery operations you can perform using Product Recovery discs vary

depending on the operating system from which they were created. Your

Microsoft Windows license permits you to create only one set of Product

Recovery discs, so it is important that you store the discs in a safe place

after you make them.

To create Product Recovery discs, do the following:

1. From the Windows desktop, open the Start menu, select All Programs, select

ThinkVantage , click Create Recovery Media.

2. Follow the instructions on the screen.

The

following list explains how Product Recovery discs are used on different

operating systems:

v Windows XP: Use Product Recovery discs to restore your computer to the

original factory contents, perform a custom factory recovery, or to perform other

rescue and recovery operations such as rescuing individual files.
