 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. |
