Performing a system recovery

Recovery allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state.

CAUTION: Using Recovery completely erases hard drive contents and reformats the hard drive. All 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 media. If you have not already created it, see Creating restore media on page 58.

To restore the computer from the recovery disc, follow these steps:

1.If possible, back up all personal files.

2.Insert the HP Factory Image into the optical drive or insert the USB disk on key into the USB port, and then restart the computer.

3.As the computer is restarting, press f9 to open the Computer Setup boot option menu, and then select the option for the optical drive if you are using a DVD to restore. If you are using a USB disk to key, select USB disk on key.

4.Press the down arrow to select Restore SLED HP-BNB preload image from the Linux boot menu, and then press enter.
