Performing A Recovery; Recovering From The Recovery Discs - Compaq Presario V3000 Service Manual

Performing a Recovery

PC Recovery software allows you to repair or restore the system
if you experience system failure or instability. PC Recovery
works from recovery discs that you create or from a dedicated
recovery partition on the hard drive.
✎
Microsoft Windows XP has its own built-in repair features,
such as System Restore and driver roll-back capabilities. If you
have not already tried these features, try them before using
PC Recovery.
✎
PC Recovery only recovers software that was preinstalled at
the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be
reinstalled from the disc provided by the manufacturer or
downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site.

Recovering from the Recovery Discs

To restore the system from the recovery discs:
1. Back up all personal files.
2. Insert the first recovery disc into the optical drive and restart
the computer.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
