Restoring the system

If the computer hard drive fails, you must use a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive to restore your system to its factory image. Ideally, you have already used HP Recovery Manager to create these tools immediately after software setup.

NOTE: All references to the hard disk drive in this guide refer to the solid-state (SSD) drive

For issues other than hard drive failure, you can restore your system by using the HP Recovery partition, rather than by using recovery discs or a recovery flash drive. To check for the presence of a recovery partition, click Start, right-click Computer, click Manage, and then click Disk Management. If the recovery partition is present, a Recovery drive is listed in the window.

CAUTION: HP Recovery Manager (partition or discs/flash drive) restores only software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be reinstalled manually.

Creating restore media

HP recommends that you create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive so that you can restore your computer to its original factory state if the hard drive fails, or if for any reason you cannot restore using the recovery partition tools. Create these discs or the flash drive after setting up the computer for the first time.

NOTE: HP Recovery Manager allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs or one recovery flash drive. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep them in a safe place.

NOTE: You can use an optional external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, or you can purchase recovery discs for your computer from the HP Web site. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer, not to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.

Guidelines:

●Purchase high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs.

NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, and BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs, are not compatible with the HP Recovery Manager software.

●The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.

●Only one set of recovery discs or one recovery flash drive can be created per computer.

NOTE: If you are creating recovery discs, number each disc before inserting it into an optional external optical drive (purchased separately).

●If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs or recovery flash drive. The next time you open HP Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the backup creation process.

To create a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive:

1.Select Start > All Programs > Security and Protection > HP Recovery Manager > HP Recovery Media Creation.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions.
