Creating a Backup of Bootable Disk and Reco very Ima ge
When you purchased your new syste m, a copy of the recovery image was loaded into a
hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the r ecove ry image available to
you means that in the event of system failure, you will b e able to restore it and re-install
the essential access software using Fujitsu Software A uto Installer.
To make a copy of the re covery image to DVD disks, you will need three or four blank
disks to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the disks and keep
