Creating HP Recovery media

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

successfully set up the tablet. 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 HP Recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and

keep them in a safe place.

●

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

blank USB flash drive or the number of blank DVD discs that will be required.

●

To create recovery discs, your tablet must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability, and

you must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do not

use rewritable discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE (rewritable

Blu-ray) discs; they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or instead you can

use a high-quality blank USB flash drive.

●

If your tablet does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you

would like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased
