Recovery
The PC uses the operating system and installed
software programs during normal operation. If
your PC works improperly or stops because of
the software, you may be able to repair it.
You need recovery discs (CDs or DVDs) for some
repairs that use the HP Application Recovery
program or the HP PC System Recovery
program. The PC does not include recovery
discs in the accessory box, but you can make
your own recovery CDs or DVDs; see “Using
HP PC Recovery CD-DVD Creator” on page 98.
Caution:
It is strongly recommended
you create your recovery CDs/DVDs
before you need them.
You should also make the Recovery Tools CD.
This CD contains utilities that allow you to make
changes to your hard disk drive, including
removing the recovery partition. See “Using HP
Recovery Tools CD” on page 99.
HP and Microsoft provide several methods to fix
your PC, including using the System Recovery
program. Try these methods in the order
listed here:

Restart When you Restart the computer, the
PC starts over using the operating system and
