If you don’t have your disks it will cost you $100-$150 to buy new ones
Creating Recovery Disks
All manufacturers use different software
Go to START-ALL PROGRAMS and then look for a folder with the name of the manufacturer, or something that says “Recovery”, or “Disaster”
Recovering a Computer
Always backup your data before doing a recovery
You can recover from a program when the computer is started, or you can use the recovery disks
If you use the disks make sure the computers BIOS is set to boot off the the CD/DVD drive before the hard drive.
