RECOVERY MEDIA


BRING BACK ALL CD FOR COMPUTER , TECH SOME TIMES CANT RESTORE OR REINSTALL
HARDWARE IF THE CD IS NOT THERE.. BRING BACK THE MEDIA/RECOVERY
CDS......................



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.

And do away with caps lock keys!

Re: RECOVERY MEDIA

And it has nothing to do with Microsoft, it is the OEM mfg's that decide
whether or not recovery media is included, contact them.
