Compaq Recovery Disc Creation
From Free Knowledge Base- The DUCK Project: information for everyone
Compaq only allows for the creation of a single set of recovery discs per system.
Windows 7
Typically two blank DVD+R or DVD-R discs are required. The system should be equipped with a optical drive capable or writing to the media.
- Click the Windows Logo button located on the bottom left side of the screen.
- In the search box type "Recovery Disc Creation" and select it from the Programs list to run.
- Recovery Manager opens in the Recovery Disc Creation dialog where instructions are available. Click "next."
- Insert the first blank recordable disc.
- After the software checks the disc, click "next" to begin the write process.
Notes and Tips:
- Compaq uses CyberLink disc writing software, the same company that makes PowerDVD and MediaShow.
- The eHow.com guide, as usual, is full of misinformation. Catherine Hewson, eHow Contributor, needs to do her homework. Also, she advises creating multiple sets of backup discs, which is a violation of Compaq EULA. The software will not permit more than one set of discs to be created.
