Performing A Recovery; Recovering Using The Recovery Discs - HP Mini 210-2000 Maintenance And Service Manual

Performing a recovery

NOTE: You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you
use Recovery Manager to create a set of recovery discs (entire drive backup) as soon as you set up
your computer.
Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system
failure or instability. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs that you create or from a dedicated
recovery partition (select models only) on the hard drive. However, computers that include a solid-
state drive (SSD) may not have a recovery partition. If that is the case, recovery discs have been
included with your computer. Use these discs to recover your operating system and software.
NOTE: Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not
already tried these features, try them before using Recovery Manager. For more information on these
built-in repair features, click Start, and then click Help and Support.
NOTE: Recovery Manager recovers only the software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software
not provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site or reinstalled
from the disc provided by the manufacturer.

Recovering using the recovery discs

To restore the system files from the recovery discs:
1. Back up all personal files.
2. Insert the first recovery disc into an optional optical drive, and restart the computer.
NOTE:
