To recover the factory installation of Windows

Use the Recovery CD to reinstall the original factory software on the hard disk. You use the same process to create a larger Hibernate/diagnostics partition on your hard disk or to create a Hibernate partition on a new hard disk.

This procedure will format the hard disk drive. After the hard disk drive is formatted, you’ll need to reinstall any applications. Reformatting the hard disk drive will erase all data on the disk.

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

1.Important. Back up all data from your hard disk. The following steps delete all data from the disk.

2.Plug in the ac adapter.

3.Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.

4.Shut down and restart the computer—when you see the HP logo, press ESC two times.

5.Select the CD-ROM drive as the boot device.

6.When the Recovery CD dialog box appears, follow the displayed instructions. If prompted, accept the recommended partition size. If you install the factory software, the recovery process can take up to 10 minutes.

If you want to create the Hibernate/diagnostics partition without installing the factory software, click Advanced and select the option to not install the operating system. If you intend to install Windows NT, you should choose the FAT16 option or the Hibernate-only option.

If, instead, you see an MS-DOS menu of options, select “Recover...” to create the Hibernate partition and install the factory software, which can take up to 60 minutes. Or select “Create Hibernate Partition” to not install the software. Accept the recommended partition size.

7.When prompted to reboot the computer, press CTRL+ALT+DEL and follow any displayed instructions.
