Creating restore disks and driver backups.

Hello people from notebook forums.

 

When I bought my ASUS K55A it did not come with ANY OS CD or any cd drivers. What if I wanted to reinstall my Local Disk C, what would I do?

I saw the "Create recovery drive" feature but I don't want to sacrifice an 8GB USB Flash drive, I rather use CD's.

 

How can I create a recovery disk? Or does ASUS come with a recovery partition that can be seen through the BIOS?

 

Second one would be, same question as above but it's about the drivers in particular, I would want to make a backup drivers installation disk.

 

Thank you in advance!

Is this "Create recovery drive" feature really being limited to USB drive?

There are so many possibilities...I think Asus has its own AI recovery, Windows has its own backup (at least from Win7) and a load of free software does exist - EaseUS is my favourite. With EaseUS Partition Manager I can see a recovery partition on my G51J - so far not needed. Made incremental backups and boot disk with EaseUS Todo Backup Free (in addition of the Windows backup which is problematic). Naturally the first thing when getting a new laptop was to make a boot disk and a set of backup DVDs of the virgin system.
