System Recovery
When other methods of repairing your
system software (like System Restore or
Application Recovery) fail, you may want to
use the HP System Recovery program as a
last resort to reinstall the software.
When necessary, you can reinstall the operating
system and the application software that was
originally installed on the PC at the factory by
using the System Recovery program.
Warning:
The
HP 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 and takes up part of the total
drive space. This disk space is not usually
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,
use recovery discs to reinstall the operating
system and software to the hard disk drive.
See ”System Recovery Using Recovery discs”
on page 106.
Make your own recovery discs (CDs or DVD)
before you need them; see “Using HP PC
Recovery CD-DVD Creator” on page 100. You
can also make the Recovery Tools CD. This CD
contains utilities that allow you to make changes
to your hard disk drive; see “Using HP Recovery
Tools CD” on page 101.
