Performing a system recovery

Recovery allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state. You can create an HP
Factory Image, using an installed or an external DVD±RW optical drive.
NOTE:
Your computer may not come equipped with an internal optical drive. In order to create the
HP Factory Image, you may need to plug in an external optical drive.
CAUTION:
files you have created and any software installed on the computer are permanently removed. The
recovery tool reinstalls the original operating system and HP programs and drivers that were installed at
the factory. Software, drivers, and updates not installed by HP must be manually reinstalled. Personal
files must be restored from a backup.
To restore the computer using the HP Factory Image, you must first create the recovery ISO file and then
burn it to an optical disc.
