Using the Disaster Recovery Utility NOTE: To perform a recovery with Disaster Recovery, you need a USB flash drive (purchased separately). For optimum performance, the capacity of the drive should be no larger than 2 GB. Disaster Recovery recovers data from a Disaster Recovery Set that you previously created with Roxio BackOnTrack. Disaster Recovery is available from the HP Web site in a compressed file called a SoftPaq. NOTE: Running the SoftPaq makes the USB drive bootable. Before performing a disaster recovery, you must download the Disaster Recovery utility and extract it to a USB flash drive. Downloading and extracting the Disaster Recovery utility To download and extract Disaster Recovery, follow these steps: 1. Connect a bootable USB flash drive or external drive to a USB port on your computer. 2. Open your Web browser, go to http://www.hp.com/support, and select your country or region. 3. Enter the SoftPaq number SP42226 in the Search box, press enter, and then follow the onscreen instructions. 4. Click Download only to save the file to your computer. 5. When prompted, click Save, and then select the external drive from the list of storage locations. 6. After the file is downloaded, navigate to the USB flash drive or external drive, and then doubleclick the SoftPaq file to format the USB flash drive and extract the Disaster Recovery files. 7. If prompted to do so, restart your computer after the installation is complete. Restoring your hard drive image To restore your hard drive image using Disaster Recovery, follow these steps: 1.
