82 - Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
After you launch the ClickMe! utility when you first start up your system, you should make a copy of the
Factory Image to DVD discs. You will need several blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are
recommended) in order to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them
in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.
