Recover the system

HP Backup and Recovery Manager analyzes the hard drive and
creates a dedicated hard drive recovery partition on the hard drive
large enough to store a copy of the full factory image. You choose
whether you want to store that copy on the recovery partition, on
another drive, or on external recovery discs.

Before using HP Backup and Recovery Manager, try repairing
the system by running Microsoft Windows System Restore.
