RECOVERY
MEDIA
Most computer systems
no longer include "Recovery Media" (Disks or
CDs used to restore your computer system to
it's factory shipped state). Many do not
even include Operating System disks.
This is not specific to systems purchased
from any one company, but now standard
practice throughout the entire industry.
However, many manufacturers include software
on the hard drive that creates recovery
media for you. This allows burning your own
set of recovery CDs or DVDs - all you need
is the blank media.
Inclusion of such a recovery utility varies
by manufacturer and model; not all
manufactures and models include such a
utility. For those that include such a
utility we recommend you create your own set
of recovery media after completing the
Windows installation. In other words, right
after you start using your PC!
If you fail to do
this and encounter a difficulty in the
future!
You may not be able to properly
restore your computer.
Some manufacturers may have physical
recovery media available separately for
purchase; consult your owner’s manual
support information section for additional
information. Systems that do not come with
a CD/DVD burner may still include Recovery
Disks - please check the manufacturer's
specs. |
