How to create "Factory Default Recovery Disc" with OneKey Recovery

[#1]

This article provides guidance on how to create factory recovery DVDs on Lenovo essential and Idea model systems using the One Key Recovery software and runing Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7.

One Key Recovery is not supported under Windows 8.   Windows 8 does not support using DVDs to create recovery media and uses USB keys instead.  Please refer to this KB article for details on this process in Windows 8.

Make sure you have Onekey Recovery software. The desktop icon should look like this.

 

Machines preloaded with Operating Systems should already have it installed otherwise it is impossible to create factory default recovery disc.

Method:

1. Start OneKey Recovery.
2. Click "Create Recovery Disc" at the main page.
3. To select a recovery disc type, please choose "Factory default recovery disc" .
4. Select the drive location where your empty discs will be used to create recovery discs. 
   

   
   Note:
   If you use CD, you'll need 17 CDs
   If you use DVD, you'll need only 3 DVDs.

5. The recovery disc creation process will start. You'll be prompted to insert blank discs whenever one disc has completed burning.
   
   Note:
   (a) Do not turn off power during the disc creation process or the task will not complete.
   (b) You're not recommended to use the computer during disc creation.
