How to Find a Recovery Disk
A recovery disk is a disk that you can use to recover your computer to its default settings. In addition to this, a recovery disk also contains valuable files and folders for which you require a backup copy. This will preserve your data against loss, as your hard drive will be deleted during the recovery process. The best method for finding a recovery disk is to create one of your own, which can be done in minutes.
