Restoring and recovering in Windows 7

To protect from loss or damage, back up your personal data files. Refer to the operating system or
backup utility documentation for instructions on making backup copies of your data files.
To protect the software from loss or damage, keep a backup copy of all system software, applications,
and related files stored on the hard drive.
If you cannot create system recovery CDs or DVDs, you can order a recovery disk set from support. To
obtain the support telephone number for your region, see http://www.hp.com/support/contactHP.
