Delhi University has given Laptops to the 1st year students so that they may use it for their studies. These are having a pre-installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS operating system on it. This OS is far more different from Windows OS although both the OSes have a GUI (Graphical User Interface). If you want to install Windows OS, you can also do it. The Whole procedure is discussed in the link given right here.


With this Laptop no DVD/CD reader-writer is available. So here is discussed how to create a backup image of present Ubuntu OS to recover the Laptop to factory state by using pendrive. So it starts with creating a backup image (.ios file).

This is how your home screen look like.


Step 1:
Goto Dash Home and type Startup Disk Creator and open the application.

Step 2:
A dialog box will appear. Here click on OK.

Step 3:

Step 4:
It’s almost done. Wait for a while.

Step 5:
The backup file is created as HP_Recovery on the desktop.

Step 6:
