    hey...
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to create a Recovery Disc... basically a boot up disk that restores everything back to factory settings in case something happens to the computer.

    Should be a program on the machine that allows you to create a set.

    You must have the installation cds included when you got you system. If not, fill out the form.

    If you need to restore the system to its factory settings, refer to this article.

    Btw, there is no other way to create restoration cds using the preinstalled apps, unless you have a third party software installed. I'm not really sure of the name, but you can search it here in the forums.

    Sorry I am a neophyte with pc functions. In fact can anyone help me figure out how to get the pop brightness indicator to return as well as the volume pop up indicator to come back too?

    Thanks

    Don't hijack a thread, especially since you already created one.
