Using Recovery CDs
Make your own recovery CDs before you need
them; see “Using HP Recovery CD Creator” on
page 95.
The recovery CDs can be used only with the
specified PC model. The CDs are licensed for
use only with your HP Pavilion home PC. The
recovery CDs can install the operating system
and software on your PC hard disk drive if the
software becomes corrupted or is accidentally
erased.
Using HP Recovery CD Creator
Make recovery CDs for your PC by using
HP Recovery CD Creator before you experience
any problem.
The recovery CD set is a complete image of the
original HP Pavilion home PC hard disk drive
contents and is matched to your PC model
number. The CD set contains the operating
system, drivers, and application software that
were originally installed on the PC at the factory.
You can use this program to make only one set
of recovery CDs for your PC. The recovery CDs
you create can be used only on your PC.
To use this program, your PC must have
a CD-RW drive or other drive that can
write to the CDs. If necessary, purchase a
Windows XP-compatible CD-RW drive from
your local PC or electronics store.
The number of CDs in the recovery set depends
on your PC model. The program tells you the
number of CDs needed to make the set. The
process takes some time, including up to
30 minutes per CD to verify that the information
is correct.
