Solving Problems with Your Computer Recovering and Reinstalling Software To recover an application Note The Recovery CDs restore all the software that was originally on your HP Pavilion Notebook PC, but the recovery program erases the hard drive in the process. Therefore, to reinstall specific applications, you will not use the Recovery CDs. If you remove an application from your hard disk and later decide you want it back, or if you accidentally delete application files, you can easily reinstall the original software. The setup programs for most of the applications that were factory-installed on your system are included on your hard drive in C:\Notebooks\Programs. Each application has its own folder that includes a readme file of instructions. A few applications do not have installation programs on the hard drive. To reinstall one of these applications (Microsoft Works, Microsoft Encarta, or Microsoft Money), use the appropriate CD-ROM that came with your computer. User's Guide 115

To recover an application
Note
The Recovery CDs restore all the software that was originally on your HP Pavilion
Notebook PC, but the recovery program erases the hard drive in the process. Therefore,
to reinstall specific applications, you will not use the Recovery CDs.
If you remove an application from your hard disk and later decide you want it back, or if
you accidentally delete application files, you can easily reinstall the original software.
The setup programs for most of the applications that were factory-installed on your
system are included on your hard drive in C:\Notebooks\Programs. Each application has
its own folder that includes a
readme
file of instructions.
A few applications do not have installation programs on the hard drive. To reinstall one
of these applications (Microsoft Works, Microsoft Encarta, or
Microsoft Money), use
the appropriate CD-ROM that came with your computer.
