How to make recovey media on ASUS windows 8 preloaded systems step by step

[Carol66]

I purchased ASUS from BestBuy a few weeks ago. There is no document no CD in the laptop box. I need to create a "recovery disk" that will include all programs, i.e. OS, programs for the hardware. Can somebody give me step by step to create this OS image?

In Windows 8 go to control panel (press windows key + x and select control panel). open 'recovery' and click on on 'create a recovery drive', tick on the 'copy recovery partition from the pc to the recovery drive and press next and follow the instructions (you will need a usb memory stick of suitable size for this, propably a 8GB one should be enough). You can also check this Asus website which describes the steps by using their own Backtracker software to create recovery drive/media: http://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1008640.
