Making a Recovery DVD

Please find instructions for Freshmen to aid in creating a Recovery DVD for the new HP laptops.

Why Create a Recovery DVD?

If your computer stops working properly, the only way to restore the factory settings and original software is to use a recovery DVD.  Your new HP laptop has a backup and recovery DVD process.  Please use this HP backup program to make a copy of your system.  Once completed, please keep your backup in a safe place.  

Instructions on how to complete the backup can be found by following this link:  Backing up a Student Laptop 

If you require further information, please contact Hewlett Packard at the 800 number contained in your laptop documentation.
