Notebook Requirements The HP Backup and Recovery Manager operations are intensive for the hard disk and CD or DVD drive and all drives require a lot of power under such usage. The HP Backup and Recovery Manager, therefore, requires that notebook computers use AC power when this application is running and while all scheduled backup operations are taking place. HP Recovery Partition Removal Wizard The HP Backup and Recovery Manager contains an application for removing the Recovery Partition, should that be desired or necessary.

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager uses this record to recover the system hard drive. Removing the Recovery Partition destroys this record. If necessary, the Recovery Partition may be removed.
