Hi,

Welcome to the Community. If you already created a backup for your system, and dont use Dell Data Safe, then you can uninstall it, by clicking on start, control panel, programs and features, and select Dell Data Safe and uninstall.

Thank you,

Royan

DVD media is not reliable.  Get a 16 Gig or larger USB flash drive and do full backup.  This will make a bootable usb flash that can recover the diag, recovery, and os partition even on a new blank hard drive.
