4 Recovering Hard Disk Drive Contents In the unlikely event of a hard disk crash, you can recover your PC's preloaded operating system and software using the PC Image Engineer - Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM1 supplied with your PC. Some of the available functions on the Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM are described below: • Full Recovery: Restores the operating system, drivers, utilities and Special Disk Partition as supplied by default. A full recovery also automatically erases any viruses that might be present on the Master Boot Record. It should be noted, however, that this function reformats your hard disk drive. It is highly recommended, if possible, that you save all data files and software installations. • Minimal Recovery: Restores only the operating system and SCSI driver for access to a SCSI hard disk drive. • Partial Recovery: Restores individual drivers which are supplied in a "browseable area" of the CD-ROM. • Copy OS Master Files: For use when Windows prompts you to insert the operating system media when installing additional drivers. • HP e-DiagTools: Checks the system configuration and operation. Also described on page 41. 1. Some models are not provided with an Image Creation & Recovery CD-ROM. If you do not have an Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM, reinstall the operating system from the CD-ROM provided for this purpose with your PC. Any drivers you need to reinstall can be downloaded from HP's Support Web site at: www.hp.com/go/vectrasupport. 49
