Recovery
■
Application and Driver Recovery: If the
problem with the PC seems to be with only one
program or one driver, it may be that the
application program or the driver program is
damaged. You can reinstall individual factory-
installed application programs and driver
programs using the HP Application Recovery
program (select models only); see “Application
Recovery” on page 103.
■
System Recovery: Use the HP System
Recovery program as a last resort to reinstall
the software. Perform System Recovery using
the hard disk drive partition first; see “System
Recovery” on page 104. If necessary, next
perform System Recovery using the recovery
CDs/DVDs and choose Standard Recovery;
see “Starting System Recovery using recovery
discs” on page 107. Finally, if necessary,
perform System Recovery using the recovery
CDs/DVDs and choose Full System Recovery;
see “Starting System Recovery using recovery
discs” on page 107.
Before using the HP PC System Recovery
program or the HP Application Recovery
program, use System Restore.
Note:
Your PC hard drive contains the System Recovery
image in a partition area of the disk drive. The
PC does not include recovery discs in the
accessory box, but you can make your own
recovery CDs or DVD; see “Creating Recovery
CDs/DVDs” on page 98.
