Restore
In the event of hard drive failure, to restore your system to its factory image you will need a set of
recovery discs or a recovery flash drive that you can create using HP Recovery Manager. HP
recommends that you use this software to create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive
immediately after software setup.
If for some other reason you need to restore your system, this can be achieved using the HP Recovery
partition (select models only), without the need for recovery discs or a recovery flash drive. To check for
the presence of a recovery partition, click
Start
, right-click
Computer
, click
Manage
, and then click
Disk Management
. If the recovery partition is present, a Recovery drive is listed in the window.
CAUTION:
HP Recovery Manager (partition, or discs/flash drive) restores only software that was
preinstalled at the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be reinstalled manually.
NOTE:
Recovery discs have been included if your computer does not have a recovery partition.
