Recovering and Reinstalling Software

Use the Recovery CDs to reinstall the original factory software and operating system. The Recovery CDs also provide all HP notebook–specific Windows drivers, which are available in the following locations:

•On the hard drive, under c:\hp\drivers.

•On the Recovery CDs, under \hp\drivers.

•On the HP Business Support web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport). This web site contains the latest updates of software drivers for various operating systems.

To recover the factory software installation

The following procedure describes how to recover the notebook’s original software and operating system. This process can take up to 15 minutes to complete. (For more information about recovering the factory software installation, see the file readme.txt in the root directory of the Recovery CDs.)

Caution

Be sure to back up the hard disk before proceeding. This procedure formats the hard disk, which erases all data on the disk. After formatting, you must reinstall any applications.

Do not interrupt the following process or unplug the AC adapter until the process is complete.

1.Back up all data from the hard disk.

2.Connect the AC adapter to the notebook. This is necessary to provide an uninterrupted power source: the notebook’s battery alone is not adequate.

3.Insert Recovery CD disk 1 into the notebook’s CD/DVD drive. If the notebook is turned off, use a pin or straightened paper clip to press the release switch on the drive door to open it.

4.Turn on or restart the notebook.

5.When the HP logo appears, press Esc to display the Boot menu.

6.Use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device, then press Enter.

7.When the Recovery CD dialog box appears, follow the displayed instructions. If prompted, accept the recommended partition size.

To create the Utility partition without installing the factory software, click Advanced and select not to install the operating system.

If the hard disk is partitioned into several drives, you can install the factory software on drive C without affecting other drives. Click Advanced and select to restore only the C partition.

8.When prompted to reboot the notebook, press Ctrl+Alt+Del and follow any instructions that appear.

Note

Windows XP supports the NTFS file system.
