Creating recovery media and backups

The following methods of creating recovery media and backups are available on select models only.

Choose the available method according to your computer model.

●

Use HP Recovery Manager after you successfully set up the computer to create HP Recovery

media. This step creates a backup of the HP Recovery partition on the computer. The backup

can be used to reinstall the original operating system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted

or has been replaced. For information on creating recovery media, see

media (select models only)

on page

Creating HP Recovery media (select models only)

IMPORTANT:

If your computer does not list a Create recovery media option, you can obtain

recovery media for your system from support. See the

Worldwide Telephone Numbers

booklet

included with the computer. You can also find contact information from the HP website. Go to

support

, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.

HP Recovery Manager is a software program that allows you to create recovery media after you

successfully set up the computer. HP Recovery media can be used to perform system recovery if the

hard drive becomes corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the original operating system and the

software programs installed at the factory and then configures the settings for the programs. HP

Recovery media can also be used to customize the system or restore the factory image if you replace

the hard drive.

●

Only one set of recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep

them in a safe place.

●

HP Recovery Manager examines the computer and determines the required storage capacity for

the media that will be required.
