Freeing Up Space on
Your Hard Disk Drive
The PC comes with a hard disk drive.
Depending on your model, the hard disk drive
has 20 gigabytes (GB) to more than 250 GB of
total disk space. The PC comes with preloaded
software programs and a partition within the
hard disk drive that takes up a certain amount
of space on the hard disk drive.
Note:
The System Recovery image is in a partition area
of the hard drive; this disk space is not available
for your use. Refer to "Using HP Recovery Tools
CD" on page 101 for information to make the disk
space available.
