Recovering Hard Disk Contents; Changing The Hard Disk - HP Vectra VEC 7 Maintenance Manual

NOTE

Recovering Hard Disk Contents

In the unlikely event of a hard disk crash, you can recover all the
software that was preloaded on your PC's hard disk when the PC was
manufactured. You can recover, for example:
The PC's operating system.
•
Any HP-supplied drivers (for example, video, IDE and LAN).
•
Any HP-designed manageability applications (for example,
•
HP TopTools and HP DiagTools).
Any software that has been installed on the PC after it was
manufactured, and any personal data that has been generated by
applications installed on the PC, are not covered by the recovery
process.

Changing the Hard Disk

If the hard disk is corrupted and you can no longer use it, you should
replace it with a new hard disk drive. Refer to the information given in
earlier chapters of this guide for information about installing hard disk
drives.
If the replacement hard disk drive is brand new, you will need to
partition and format the drive. Refer to your operating system
documentation for information about how to do this.
