Using Application Recovery and System Recovery The System Recovery program uses a special recovery partition on the hard disk drive to store an image of the original software. The system recovery image takes up part of the total hard disk drive space. The system recovery partition disk space is not available for your use. In the unlikely event that you replace the hard disk drive, or somehow damage the data in the special recovery partition on the hard disk drive, you must use recovery CDs to reinstall the operating system and software to the hard disk drive. See "System Recovery Using Recovery CDs" on page 6-8. Make your own recovery CDs before you need them; see "Using Compaq Recovery CD Creator" on page 6-7. To contact Compaq Support, see the Warranty and Support Guide, included in the PC documentation, for the Compaq Customer Care telephone number. Starting System Recovery If the PC Is Responding 1.
