System Recovery

When you’ve tried other methods of repairing your system software (like System Restore or Application Recovery), you may want to use the HP PC System Recovery program as a last resort to reinstall the software.

When necessary, you can reinstall the operating system and the application software that was originally installed on the HP DEC at the factory by using the System Recovery program.

WARNING: The HP PC System Recovery program will delete any data or programs that you installed after purchase. Be sure to back up any data that you want to keep onto a removable disc.

In the unlikely event that you replace the hard disk drive, use recovery discs to reinstall the operating system and software on the hard disk drive.

System Recovery Using

Recovery Discs

The recovery discs provide two recovery options:

•Standard Recovery: This option recovers factory- shipped programs, drivers, and the operating system without affecting any data files that you may have created since purchase. Some data files may be difficult to find after the System Recovery, so it is best to back up all hard disk drive files before performing a System Recovery. However, you must reinstall any software that was not installed on the HP DEC at the factory. This includes software that came on CDs included in the accessory box, and software programs you installed since your purchase.

•Full System Recovery: This recovery function completely erases and reformats the hard disk drive. The program performs a full System Recovery to reinstall the operating system, programs, and drivers from the recovery discs. However, you must reinstall any software that was not installed on the HP DEC at the factory. This includes software that came on CDs included in the accessory box, and software programs you installed since your purchase.

NOTE: If your HP DEC has a blank or corrupted hard disk drive, you will see only the full System Recovery option.
