Restoring Your Software If your software accidentally gets erased or corrupted, you can reinstall the software. You may need to reinstall all the software on your hard disk or just certain applications. These two recovery methods are: • System Recovery - Performs a full recovery with or without completely reformatting your hard disk. It reinstalls all application programs included with your HP Pavilion PC. • Application Recovery - Allows you to select the applications or drivers to be recovered. This method preserves all data files that you have created on your hard disk. 6 Getting Help An HP Pavilion Recovery CD is provided for each method. The CDs contain a copy of the software originally installed on your system and can be used only on the HP Pavilion PC model that they came with.

Restoring Your Software
If your software accidentally gets erased or
corrupted, you can reinstall the software. You may
need to reinstall all the software on your hard disk
or just certain applications. These two recovery
methods are:
•
System Recovery
– Performs a full recovery
with or without completely reformatting your
hard disk. It reinstalls all application programs
included with your HP Pavilion PC.
•
Application Recovery
– Allows you to select
the applications or drivers to be recovered. This
method preserves all data files that you have
created on your hard disk.
An HP Pavilion Recovery CD is provided for each
method. The CDs contain a copy of the software
originally installed on your system and can be used
only
on the HP Pavilion PC model that they
came with.
