Restore
In the event of hard drive failure, to restore your system to its factory image you must use a set of
recovery discs or a recovery flash drive that you have created using HP Recovery Manager. HP
recommends that you use HP Recovery Manager immediately after software setup to create either a
set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive.
If you need to restore your system for some other reason than hard drive failure, you can use the HP
Recovery partition (select models only), without the need for recovery discs or a recovery flash drive.
To check for the presence of a recovery partition, click Start, right-click Computer, click Manage,
and then click Disk Management. If the recovery partition is present, a Recovery drive is listed in the
window.
CAUTION:
HP Recovery Manager (partition or discs/flash drive) restores only the software that was
installed at the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be reinstalled manually.
NOTE:
Recovery discs have been included if your computer does not have a recovery partition.
