System Recovery
When other methods of repairing your
system software (like System Restore or
Application Recovery) fail, you may want to
use the
HP Pavilion System Recovery
program
as a last resort to reinstall the software.
When needed, you can reinstall the operating
system and the application software that was
originally installed on the computer at the factory
by using the System Recovery program.
Warning:
The
HP Pavilion System
Recovery
program will delete any data
or programs that you installed after
purchase. Be sure to back up any
data that you want to keep onto a
removable disc.
The System Recovery program uses a special
recovery partition
on the hard disk that stores
an image of the original software.
Note:
The system recovery image is in a partition area
of the hard drive; this disk space is not available
for your use.
In the unlikely event that you replace the
hard drive, or somehow damage the data in
the special recovery partition on the hard drive,
you use recovery CDs to reinstall the operating
system and software to the hard disk drive.
See “System Recovery Using Recovery CDs“
on page 83.
Make your own recovery CDs before you need
them; see “Using HP Recovery CD Creator“ on
page 83.
