Create a Recovery Disk for a Dell Laptop Running Windows 8

There are two ways to create a recovery disc. They're similar, but not identical. We'll go through the steps for both methods below:

The 1st Process:
1. On the start screen, search for ‘Dell backup & recovery software’ by typing the program's name in the search box. Open the application by clicking on it.


2. Click on the ‘Reinstall Disk/Rescue Disk’ tile.



3. Now you can select either USB flash drive or discs. After selecting your desired option click on‘Continue’. Make sure that your USB drive has enough space or you have sufficient DVDs. Note that you can’t use CDs or any rewritable media.

4. Attach the USB flash drive or insert the DVD.

5. Click on ‘Start’.

6. If you use an USB Flash drive then you will be notified that the data of the drive will be lost. Click on ‘Yes’ to proceed.

7. Wait until the task is completed. Then click on ‘OK’ once done.
