I have the recovery discs that I created when I bought my computer,

‎06-17-2011 11:02 AM

and now can't figure out how to use them.    When I insert 1/2 in the DVD reader, I expect it to start the process.  Instead I get the contents of the DVD.  Shouldn't there be an execute file or run file?

Hi,

 

Insert the first disc into the CD/DVD drive and then restart PC - the computer should then boot from the inserted disc and start the recovery process.
