Creating a restore image on a USB device NOTE: Be sure AC power is connected to the computer you begin. Verify the exact amount of free space on your storage device before you begin the creation process. For most models, you will need at least 8 GB of free space on the storage device. However, depending on the drivers and software installed on your computer, you may need slightly more than 8 GB of space. HP recommends that you use a 16 GB device or above for best results. IMPORTANT: Remember to insert your USB device into the USB port on the computer before starting this procedure. To create the restore image: 1. Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, and then click System Settings > Backup. 2. Select Storage from the panel on the left side of the window, click the down-arrow next to Backup location, and select the USB device from the drop-down list. NOTE: If the USB device is not listed in the drop-down list for Backup Location, select Local Folder, and then click the Choose Folder button. Select the USB device from the panel on the left side of the Choose Folder window, and click OK. 3. Select Overview from the panel on the left side of the window, and then click Backup Now. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions. Performing recovery using the restore DVD NOTE: The following procedure uses the F11 BIOS Recovery feature to perform the recovery. 1.

Using the arrow keys, select Recovery, and then press enter. 6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
