Media Reduction Initiative (effective April 1, 2010)

DataSafe Local
* Effective Apr 1, 2010, all Dell systems will no longer include the Operating System or Resource Driver discs. Utilize DataSafe Local to restore/create copy of the media
* DataSafe Local provides you with the capability to create a set of Recovery Discs that contain a complete copy of all software installed on your Dell computer. By creating these Recovery Discs, you are making a backup of all the software that was installed on your computer at the factory, which allows you to reinstall all applications, drivers and the Windows operating system shipped with your computer. While there is a similar copy of the software in the recovery partition, creating recovery discs provides additional protection for the factory installed software.
