Making Recovery
CDs or DVD
In the unlikely event that there is damage to the
hard disk drive, or it needs replacing, you must
use recovery CDs/DVDs to reinstall the operating
system and factory-installed software. Make the
recovery CDs/DVDs for your PC now, before a
need occurs; refer to "Using HP PC Recovery
CD-DVD Creator" on page 100. This program
assembles the necessary files, and writes the
information to CDs/DVDs.
You can also make the Recovery Tools CD.
This CD contains utilities that allow you to
make changes to your hard disk drive. See
"Using HP Recovery Tools CD" on page 101.
