Making Recovery
CDs or DVD
In the unlikely event that there is damage to the
hard disk drive or it needs replacing, you must
use recovery CDs/DVDs to reinstall the operating
system and factory-installed software. Make the
recovery CDs/DVDs for your PC now, before a
need occurs; refer to “Using HP PC Recovery
CD-DVD Creator” on page 100. This program
assembles the necessary files and writes the
information to CDs/DVDs.
You can also make the Recovery Tools CD.
This CD contains utilities that allow you to
make changes to your hard disk drive; see
”Using HP Recovery Tools CD” on page 101.
