You cannot reset HP Backup and Recovery Manager so it will let you restart the recovery media creation
process. Contact Post-Sales support if you want to change to a different media type after you have
launched the process.

Removing the Recovery Partition

The Recovery Partition contains a record of all software installed at the factory and shipped with a system,
including the ISO images for the operating system, HP Restore Plus!, and other supplemental and recovery
products. HP Backup and Recovery Manager uses this record to recover the system hard drive. Removing
the Recovery Partition destroys this record.
NOTE:
On some computers with small hard drives, the Recovery Partition may consume much needed hard drive
space. Because of this, you can remove the Recovery Partition. However, before doing so you should run
the Recovery Media Creator to create a disc backup of the software on the Recovery Partition, including
all ISO images.
ENWW
ISO images are not available on Portables unless you create them.
