To recover an application 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 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:\hp\programs. Each application has its own folder that includes a file of instructions (readme.txt). A few factory-installed applications do not have installation programs on the hard drive. If your computer came with one of these applications (for example, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Encarta, or Microsoft Money), you can reinstall it by using the appropriate CD-ROM. The Recovery CD restores all the software that was originally on your HP notebook PC, but the recovery program erases the hard drive in the process. Therefore, to reinstall only specific applications and not the original system, do not use the Recovery CD. Reference Guide 115

To recover an application
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 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:\hp\programs. Each application has its own folder
that includes a file of instructions (readme.txt).
A few factory-installed applications do not have installation programs on the hard drive.
If your computer came with one of these applications (for example, Microsoft Works,
Microsoft Encarta, or Microsoft Money), you can reinstall it by using the appropriate
CD-ROM.
Note
The
Recovery CD
restores all the software that was originally on your HP notebook PC,
but the recovery program erases the hard drive in the process. Therefore, to reinstall
only specific applications and
not
the original system, do not use the
Recovery CD
.
