Recovery System and Hard Drive Space HP Pavilion home PCs with Windows XP feature a "recovery" partition included on the hard drive, thus eliminating the need for recovery CDs that may get lost or damaged. The recovery process from the hard drive (either application or operating system) offers the following advantages: Selective: Ensures that the recovery data is matched to the particular HP Pavilion home PC model. You can easily recover only the application or system software you need. Non-destructive: By recovering only the software you need, you preserve user data and files. Fast: Recovering only the necessary software components, the recovery process is shorter and faster from the hard drive. Instructions for using system recovery and application recovery are in your Quick Start Guide; refer to the section "Using Application Recovery and System Recovery." For information on viewing the space used by the recovery partition on the hard drive, as well as steps for deleting undesired software titles, refer to the section "Freeing Up Space on Your Hard Disk Drive." In the event of a warranty hard drive failure, standard warranty terms apply: a new "imaged" hard drive or replacement PC that includes the Windows XP operating system and the recovery partition, as well as all pre-loaded software programs. xxii HP Pavilion home PC
