System Recovery
When other methods of repairing your system
software (like System Restore) 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. The
System Recovery program does not affect your
data files.
The System Recovery program uses a special
recovery partition
on the hard disk that stores
an image of the original software. This makes
recovery convenient, without the need to have
or use a System Recovery CD.
Note:
The system recovery image is in a hidden partition
area of the hard drive; this disk space is not
available for your use.
