Using Application Recovery
and System Recovery
The PC uses the operating system and installed
software programs during normal operation. If
your PC works improperly or stops because of
the software, you may be able to repair it.
You need recovery discs (CDs or DVDs) for some
repairs that use the HP Application Recovery
program or the HP PC System Recovery program.
The PC does not include recovery discs in the
accessory box, but you can make your own
recovery CDs or DVDs; see "Using HP PC
Recovery CD-DVD Creator."
Caution:
It is strongly recommended you
create your recovery CDs or DVDs before
you need them.
You should also make the Recovery Tools CD.
This CD contains utilities that allow you to make
changes to your hard disk drive, including
removing the recovery partition. See "Using
HP Recovery Tools CD."
HP and Microsoft provide several methods to fix
your PC, including using the System Recovery
program. Try these methods in the order
listed here:

■
PC starts over using the operating system and
software in its memory. This is the simplest
repair for your PC: Just click Start, choose
Turn Off Computer, and then click
Restart.
