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.
You can quit the process at any time. The next
time you run the program, it begins where you
left off.
